Quotes
-
Heinrich became famous in Berlin and beyond for his skills as an orator—being a speaker rather than a writer, many of his publications are reconstructed on the basis of recordings and notes of his students. His work adopts key elements from Tillich ('origins') and Freud ('repression') and moves in the borderland between Greek mythology and philosophy.
