The Heidegger-Jaspers Correspondence (1920-1963)

These letters provide extraordinary insights, both personal and philosophical, into two major thinkers of the twentieth century whose contributions to contemporary thought are still having a significant impact.

Martin Heidegger and Karl Jaspers met at a celebration marking the sixty-first birthday of Edmund Husserl.

Recognising in each other a shared vision of what philosophy should be, they struck up a friendship, which continued through correspondence carried on over four decades and which weathered many vicissitudes.
