Herbert Witzenmann

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Herbert Witzenmann (16 February 1905 in Pforzheim - 24 September 1988 in Heidelberg, Germany) was a German philosopher and anthroposophist. Witzenmann received his decisive study and work impulses through personal conversations with Rudolf Steiner. In the 1930s Witzenmann studied with Karl Jaspers in Heidelberg. His thesis On the Concept of Work According to Nietzsche and Hegel could, however, no longer be accepted because of Jasper's forced exile under the National Socialists. Evidence for Jasper's acceptance of Witzenmann's promotion candidacy has not been presented. According to Witzenmann his dissertation manuscript was destroyed by fire due to phospor bombings of Pforzheim by U.S. airplanes in World War II.
