Opis

Martin Heidegger is one of the most influential figures of twentieth century philosophy but his reputation was tainted by his associations with Nazism. The posthumous publication of the Black Notebooks, which reveal the shocking extent of Heidegger s anti-Semitism, has only cast further doubt on his work.

Recenzje

"Focusing on Heidegger's 'metapolitical' texts from the 1930s, Trawny exposes the good, the bad, and the ugly of Heidegger's middle period, and especially his tortured efforts to conjugate 'the end of metaphysics' with his commitment to Hitler and Nazism. Trawny emphasizes what still remains valuable in Heidegger's reflections on art, language, Ereignis, and poetry, even as he ruthlessly dissects the supinely stupid 'metaphysical anti-Semitism' of Heidegger's Black Notebooks."
