Why read it?
1 author picked The Heidegger Controversy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The ever-contentious debate about Heideggerâs filiations with Nazism was re-enlivened with the appearance of the so-called âBlack Notebooksâ in 2014.
However, unless one closely heeds the existential verbiage of Heideggerâs commitment to Nazism, one risks tilting at windmills; hence, succumbing to a plethora of misconceptions and misunderstandings.
This invaluable collection of original texts â which, in addition to Heidegger political speeches of 1933-34, contains the indispensable Der Spiegel interview, âOnly a God Can Save Us!â â has taken on an entirely new meaning and importance in light of the âBlack Notebooksââ publication.
From Richard's list on intellectuals and fascism.
