FERNANDEZ CASTRO, Roberto. From Philosophy of Life to Phenomenology: The Reception of Paul Yorck von Wartenburg’s Work. Hist. graf [online]. 2023, n.60, pp.183-219.  Epub Feb 13, 2023. ISSN 1405-0927.  https://doi.org/10.48102/hyg.vi60.431.

The initial objective of the article is to show the process of reception and influence of the philosophy of Paul Yorck von Wartenburg, the main correspondent of Wilhelm Dilthey and an outstanding exponent of the philosophy of life between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. The ignorance that until now has prevailed in our language [Spanish] about his work makes a brief biographical and contextual reconstruction necessary, before presenting the central thesis of the article, which consists of showing how some of the key concepts of the philosophy of the count of Yorck found a continuity or connection, first with the phenomenological philosophy of Martin Heidegger and later with the hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer. With this argument, it seeks to recover the work and legacy of the Earl of Yorck.

Keywords : Paul Yorck von Wartenburg; philosophy of life; phenomenology; hermeneutics; historicity.
