Abstract
The philosopher and educationalist Eduard Spranger (1882–1963) is said to be one of the last German mandarins of the Weimar Republic and after World War II. Based on analysis of his correspondence with his most important female friend, this article examines three facets of Spranger’s attitude towards the historical presence of 1913: (1) the banality of life and desire for grandeur; (2) exhaustion and malady; and (3) the longing for adventure and metaphysical beliefs.
