Geoffrey Waite on Esoterism, Heidegger, & Cassirer
Here is a piece I compiled recently out of previous discussions:
On Geoffrey Waite on Esoterism, Heidegger, and Cassirer by R. Dumain
This is my summary and criticism of a flawed analysis of the infamous 1929 debate at Davos between the Nazi-to-be philosopher Martin Heidegger and soon-to-be-exiled Jewish liberal Neo-Kantian philosopher Ernst Cassirer. Waite claims that both liberals and Marxists have not understood the esoteric dimension of their philosophical/political enemies and and thus have been intellectually helpless in opposing them.
Moral: The collapse of reason in society is mirrored in the collapse of reason in its intellectuals.
