Writings at the time. Series of cultural publications by Artemis Verlag

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Schriften zur Zeit was a series of publications specializing in contemporary problems (running from 1942 to 1970) by Artemis Verlag, Zurich-based , founded by Friedrich Witz in conjunction with Karl Hoenn.

History and function

From 1942 to 1944 Friedrich Witz worked as an editor at Morgarten-Verlag, Zurich. It was here that the first three issues of “Schriften zur Zeit” appeared with the addition “Kulturschriftenreihe des Morgarten-Verlag”. Only then was the series incorporated into Artemis Verlag, which was founded in 1943. The authors (all male) of the time diagnoses and solution approaches brought together under the umbrella of the series “Schriften zur Zeit” came from German-speaking Switzerland with a few exceptions. Karl Jaspers' significant contribution to political philosophy ( The question of guilt. A contribution to the German question , issue 11) was first published in 1946 by Lambert Schneider in Heidelberg.
