The Crisis of Philosophy in the 1930's

The aim of this conference is to explore the identity crisis of philosophy in this
historical context and to examine its multiple dimensions (epistemological, political,
ethical, aesthetic, etc.) across the philosophical traditions that were particularly
relevant at the time. Special attention will be given to four major currents of thought:
Phenomenology, Hermeneutics and Lebensphilosophie, Logical Empiricism, and
Neo-Kantianism. By doing so, the workshop seeks to offer a unified account of the
phenomenon of crisis, thereby promoting dialogue between these traditions and
contributing to a deeper understanding of the historical development of philosophy.

The event will also feature a roundtable of the New Ueberweg project on Hermeneutics in 20th-century philosophy.
