Abstrakt

Besides his many philosophical and religious works, Dietrich von Hildebrand also wrote over sixty essays in the 1930’s against German Nazism. While these were deeply rooted in his philosophical and religious work, they were addressed to a wide German audience and written in Vienna with a view to preventing the Abstracts 446 annexation of Austria to the German Reich. Taken all together they form a most impressive (but little known) Christian witness from a dark era. The author presents and interprets some main themes in these essays, while also drawing on Dietrich von Hildebrand’s recently published Memoiren, 1923-1938.
