Evidence

A few months after the Davos meeting, on 24 July 1929, Heidegger followed it up with a brilliant inaugural lecture in Freiburg, under the title ‘What Is Metaphysics?’ — the text Sartre and Beauvoir would see in translation in 1931 without understanding it. — Sarah Bakewell, At the Existentialist Café, 246

• XREF: Chronology detail that will pay off when Sartre later absorbs Heidegerian concepts — good connective tissue for the movement narrative.
