Special Issue of the History of European Ideas, edited by Björn Wittrock and Hans Joas

SCAS Principal Björn Wittrock and Long-term Fellow Hans Joas are guest editors of a special issue
of the journal History of European Ideas (vol. 41, no. 3-4, April-June 2015), which was published
in the late spring of 2015. The thematic focus of the special issue is Peter E. Gordon's Continental
Divide: Heidegger, Cassirer, Davos, a theme deriving from the Ernst Cassirer Symposium held at
the Swedish Collegium on 21-22 January 2013. Six of the eleven articles to be found in the special
issue originate from the symposium. These include the introductory article by Björn Wittrock and
pieces by Peter E. Gordon, Hans Joas, Hans-Peter Krüger, Hans-Jörg Rheinberger and Stephan
Steiner.

The contributions are:
Björn Wittrock: "Understanding a Divide: A Symposium on a Fateful Public Conversation, Davos 1929",
(pages 423-431)
Hans-Peter Krüger: "Life-Philosophical Anthropology as the Missing Third: On Peter Gordon's Continental
Divide" (pages 432-439)

(pages 440-446)
