Abstract

It is intriguing to count the similarities between Martin Heidegger, who died in May of last year in the West German village of his birth, and the late J. L. Moreno. Both were born in middle Europe at about the same time; both were products of Teutonic education; both had early flirtations with formal religion which influenced their later careers; both inspired major new trends in "existential" psychology as alternatives to Freud; both were charismatic and somewhat mysterious figures who excited either unflagging loyalty or unabashed contempt among their colleagues. Though they never met, they did have an indirect contact in the person of a tailor whom they shared in Freiburg many years ago.
