Both philosophers Martin Heidegger and Rudolph Carnap wanted to see metaphysics destroyed, but they had very different ways of going about this. In 1929, Heidegger gave a speech entitled “What is Metaphysics?” Three years later, Carnap wrote an essay called “The Elimination of Metaphysics Through the Logical Analysis of Language” attacking Heidegger’s speech as meaningless mumbo-jumbo. Heidegger never responded, but we can imagine what might of happened if they swung philosophical swords against each other.
