German philosopher and essayist Wolfram Eilenberger, founder and editor-in-chief of Philosophie Magazin, looks back at one of the great decades of German-Austrian thought, the twenties of the last century, examining in detail, as if under a microscope, not only the philosophical work but also the lives of four "magicians": Ernst Cassirer, Martin Heidegger, Walter Benjamin, and Ludwig Wittgenstein, whose fates were intricately intertwined with each other and with the vicissitudes of the tumultuous time between the two world wars. The book is neither a history of philosophy textbook, nor an academic study, nor a fictionalized biography, but combines features of all these genres, highlighting life and thought through each other in a compelling way.
