Wolin's own style--plain, forceful, explicit--already makes a philosophical, ethical and even political point: that the best way to resist the "seduction" of unreason is to cultivate a language that allows for rational discourse and debate, not to conceal one's intentions behind obfuscation and allusion., This new edition documents, in ways not previously possible, the extent to which Heidegger's political ideas, and more importantly, his most fundamental philosophical preoccupations - the origins of mathematics, science, and technology - were closely bound up with his anti-Semitism and Nazi beliefs., ?The most serious and systematic attempt so far to understand the complex and hidden links between Heidegger's philosophy and his politics., ?A splendid book: vigorously argued but at the same time cautious, provocative but at the same time thoroughly responsible and discriminating., 'A very lucidly written and persuasively argued brief for the claim that Heidegger's involvement with National Socialism 'was rooted in the innermost tendencies of his thought'... Wolin surpasses even Habermas., '[Wolin's book] moves at once to occupy the high ground of debate--that is to say, Heidegger's own texts--and to throw down the gauntlet to Heidegger's latter-day defenders and apologists...

Synopsis

Martin Heidegger's ties to Nazism have tarnished his stature as one of the towering figures of twentieth-century philosophy. The publication of the Black Notebook s in 2014, which revealed the full extent of Heidegger's anti-Semitism and enduring sympathy for National Socialism, only inflamed the controversy. Richard Wolin's The Politics of Being: The Political Thought of Martin Heidegger has played a seminal role in the international debate over the consequences of Heidegger's Nazism. In this edition, the author provides a new preface addressing the effect of the Black Notebooks on our understanding of the relationship between politics and philosophy in Heidegger's work. Building on his pathbreaking interpretation of the philosopher's political thought, Wolin demonstrates that philosophy and politics cannot be disentangled in Heidegger's oeuvre. V lkisch ideological themes suffuse even his most sublime philosophical treatises. Therefore, despite Heidegger's profundity as a thinker, his critique of civilization is saturated with disturbing anti-democratic and anti-Semitic leitmotifs and claims., Martin Heidegger's ties to Nazism have tarnished his stature as one of the towering figures of twentieth-century philosophy.
