Het Tijdperk Van De Tovenaars by Wolfram Eilenberger

Das große Jahrzehnt der Philosophie 1919–1929

A compact, vividly written intellectual history that follows four leading thinkers—Walter Benjamin, Ernst Cassirer, Martin Heidegger and Ludwig Wittgenstein—during the turbulent post–World War I decade, tracing how their ideas about language, myth, culture and reason responded to rapid social and political change. Combining biography, philosophical exposition and cultural context, it shows their meetings, disagreements and how their work both reflected and shaped the crisis of modernity, ultimately revealing how philosophy became deeply entangled with the era's political passions and the rise of authoritarianism.
