Eberhard Grisebach (27 February 1880 in Hanover; † 16 July 1945 in Zurich) a German philosopher who, through his friendship with Friedrich Gogarten (1887–1967), alongside Karl Barth (1886–1968), a founder of the so-called 'Dialectical Theology', and as a co-discoverer and co-founder of the so-called dialogical Ich-Du philosophy, he helped to stimulate the philosophical and theological discussion of the 1920s and 1930s.

Origin
Grisebach is the name of an official family originally from Pomerania and verifiable in Hanover since 1647. His parents were the government vice president Rudolf Grisebach (1838-1910) and his wife Marie Karoline Hedwig von Harnier (1857-1883), a daughter of the MP Adolf von Harnier. Eberhard Grisebach was a nephew of the literary scholar Eduard Grisebach (1845-1906) and the architect Hans Grisebach (1848-1904). The age-old art historian August Grisebach (1881-1950) was his cousin, the Berlin architect Helmuth Grisebach (1883-1970) his younger brother. His oldest of five children was the famous Siegerland painter Lothar Grisebach,

Life
Eberhard Grisebach attended the princely school in Wernigerode am Harz, where his father Rudolf Grisebach had been the chamber president of the prince of Stollberg-Wernigerode since 1890. In 1900 he went to study architecture at the Technical University of Darmstadt. From 1901 to 1903 he studied at the Technical University in Charlottenburg, but also heard at the University of Berlin the art historian Heinrich Wölfflin (1864-1945), with whom he had a deep friendship throughout his life.

Because of a tuberculosis illness he spent the years 1904 to 1909 in Davos, Switzerland. There he married Lotte Spengler in 1909, daughter of the pulmonologist Lucius Spengler. During these years of idleness and inactivity that gave his life a decisive turn, he struggled to think about questions of human community. It was from this drive that he began studying philosophy with Rudolf Eucken at the University of Jena in 1909, which he completed in 1910 with a dissertation on culture as form formation.

In 1913 he obtained university teaching qualifications through his postdoctoral thesis on contemporary cultural work in Jena. He taught philosophy there from 1922 as an extraordinary professor. In 1931 he was appointed to the Chair of Philosophy, Pedagogy and Psychology at the University of Zurich.

He was overtaken by death in 1945 in the middle of his philosophical work in Switzerland.

Think
Eberhard Grisebach's philosophical thinking was initially very strongly influenced and shaped by his teacher Rudolf Eucken, who was researching at the university in Jena at the time and later won the Nobel Prize for Literature. At the beginning of the 20th century, Rudolf Eucken (1846–1926) was considered to be one of the leading German-speaking philosophers who, in the succession and at the same time, in his own time, removed Kant's endeavors to determine a so-called neo-idealism based on knowledge and experience, Grisebach's Culture as Form Formation , 1910, walked entirely on the path set by his philosophical teacher. But already in his postdoctoral thesis on contemporary cultural philosophy, 1913, he largely, aesthetically determined, set himself apart from his former philosophical teacher Rudolf Eucken by thinking with Wilhelm Diltheys (1833–1911), Georg Simmel (1858–1918) and Heinrich Rickerts (1863–1936), one of the reviewers of Martin Heidegger's habilitation thesis(1889-1976), critically examined. For Grisebach, however, the term leading to knowledge was already the concept of life, the definition of which, understood as pedagogical and ethical, was "in the broadest sense the most distinguished task of philosophy". It is already evident in this early writing by Grisebach that he intends to transform the epistemological question of reality into an ethical question of the reality of the intention to act. In a series of writings, of which problems in particular, he won a complete distance from the neoidealistic position of his former teacher Rudolf Eucken, which made the ethical, and thus also the pedagogical, seem unreal, and was therefore no longer acceptable to Grisebach Real Education, 1923, andThe limits of the educator and his responsibility , 1924, are to be mentioned. Grisebach's main work, Present, 1928, is an expression of a startling thought to "shake any self-certainty of an allegedly ethical knowledge" (Meyer 1966, 98).
