Abstract

The Davos Debate between Heidegger and Cassirer, in 1929, is fundamental for twentieth-century philosophy and profoundly marked the trajectories of the two authors. Despite this, academia has devoted little time to understanding the impacts that the Davos Debate would have had on the sequence of the authors' thinking. For this reason, the objective of the research is to characterize what the Heideggerian turn [Kehre] would consist of and what would be the possible impacts of the Davos Debate on it. The method consists of a bibliographic research, in addition to the mobilization of classical commentators and the argumentative reconstruction of Heidegger's fundamental works. (AU)
