Alfred Baeumler and the "Mask" of Kant. Well-known as a pedagogue and prominent Nazi ideologue in the 1930s, Alfred Baeumler (1887-1968) surprisingly had a background in humanistic studies within the context of the debates on the legacy of the neo-Kantian Marburg School. His main contribution in this respect was a study of the historical genesis of Kant’s Critique of Judgement, which aimed at an overall com- prehension of Kantian criticism in connection with 18th-century esthetic and logical thought. The Author provides an analysis of Baeumler’s historical insights in compari- son with the contemporary writings of Curtius, Natorp and Cassirer in order to under- line how his approach led to a deconstruction of Kantian rationalism in favor of a new idea of critical philosophy as unwarrantedly accepting the non-rational and, ultimately, as a "mask" for advocating anti-democratic thinking.
Keywords: Alfred Baeumler, criticism, irrationalism, neo-Kantianism, Kant’s Critique of Judgement, Baumgarten’s Aesthetics, Wolff’s logic, Nietzsche, will to power.
