The 1929 debate between Ernst Cassirer and Martin Heidegger in Davos is considered one of the most important intellectual debates of the twentieth century and a founding moment of continental philosophy. This is the first comprehensive philosophical analysis of the content and arguments of this fascinating and often misunderstood debate.
The 1929 encounter between Ernst Cassirer and Martin Heidegger in Davos, Switzerland is considered one of the most important intellectual debates of the twentieth century and a founding moment of continental philosophy. At the same time, many commentators have questioned the philosophical profundity and coherence of the actual debate. In this book, the first comprehensive philosophical analysis of the Davos debate, Simon Truwant challenges these critiques. He argues that Cassirer and Heidegger''s disagreement about the meaning of Kant''s philosophy is motivated by their different views about the human condition, which in turn are motivated by their opposing conceptions of what the task of philosophy ultimately should be. Truwant shows that Cassirer and Heidegger share a grand philosophical concern: to comprehend and aid the human being''s capacity to orient itself in and towards the world.
