Although their names have hardly ever been mentioned in the same breath and the two intellectuals never met face to face, Johan Huizinga (1872–1945), the grave and placid historian from the Netherlands, and Georg Lukács (1885–1971), the radical left-wing thinker from Hungary, have at least two striking features in common. First is their severe cultural critique, with its gloomy judgment of the crucial developments and phenomena in the 19th and the 20th century European culture and society. Second is their resumption of the Schillerian notion that man is complete only when he plays. Both issues, the cultural critique on the one hand, and the utopian vision of man-the-player who transcends modern alienation on the other, are closely interrelated. The paper zeroes in on the peculiar relationship between the concepts of play in Huizinga and in Lukács, following the strategy of playing off the growing uneasiness in culture against the emerging ideal of playfulness in interwar Europe, both in the West and in the East, both among communist and liberal intellectuals. Ultimately, the difference between the two options may not be as drastic as appeared at first sight.

The following paper tried to summarize Georg Lukács’s possibilities at the turn of the century in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and in Germany. Lukács began his early career in an uncertain era and searched for a ground, where his philosophy is “accepted”. It seemed after several attempts, like the journal Szellem or the Thália that Heidelberg is the centre of intelligentsia, where Lukács can be recognized for his philosophy and where he can find a steady ground for his thoughts. His idea was to habilitate in the Ruprecht Karl University of Heidelberg, although the Faculty of Philosophy denied his application from several reasons: Lukács was an outsider in Heidelberg, who could not prove himself with a systematic work, he comes from a foreign country in the time of the war and besides that, he is a Jew. Lukács’s failed attempt to habilitate in Heidelberg is interesting from three points of view: (1) history of philosophy; for instance how philosophy became vocation or what reasons led Lukács to Germany (2) history of ideas; how the position of intelligentsia changed and reshaped during the war and (3) history of university, how the war reshaped the universities. The paper tries to reflect the outcomes of other studies and mentions the archive documents of the Faculty of Philosophy of the University Archives of Heidelberg.
