„Scherben ihrer Bilder, verlorne Klänge ihrer Stimmen …“. Die Korrespondenz zwischen Paul Tillich und Dolf Sternberger

Abstract

This edition of till now largely unpublished correspondence between Paul Tillich and Dolf Sternberger dates from late 1933 until Tillich's death. The writer, essayist, journalist, and political scientist Sternberger was one of Tillich's most important students. In 1932, he was awarded a doctorate for his thesis on Martin Heidegger's notion of death. Until 1943, he worked for the „Frankfurter Zeitung“ and started to pursue an academic career after World War II. Despite their divergent paths through life, Sternberger and Tillich always maintained a close relationship.
