Abstract

This article aims to understand the Davos disputations between Martin Heidegger and Ernst Cassirer as a fundamental anecdote in the XX century for a philosophical anthropology. The principal reason is that the Davos disputations allows theatrical performance of the most important questions that must be answered on the way to a philosophy about the human condition. Specifically: the method, the place of the anthropology in the philosophical canon and, the possibilities to introduce the historical, contingent and symbolic aspects in the fourth Kantian question. Finally, this article aims that the philosophy of H. Blumenberg allows finding a way of communication between Heidegger and Cassirer and therefore a renewal of the philosophical question by the human condition.
