In this fresh interpretation of Heidegger, Alexander S. Duff
explains Heidegger's perplexing and highly varied political
influence. Heidegger and Politics argues that Heidegger's political
import is forecast by fundamental ambiguities about the status of
politics in his thought. Duff explores how, in Being and Time as
well as earlier and later works, Heidegger analyzes 'everyday'
human existence as both irretrievably banal but also supplying our
only tenuous path to the deepest questions about human life.
Heidegger thus points to two irreconcilable attitudes toward
politics: either a total and purifying revolution must usher in an
authentic communal existence, or else we must await a future
deliverance from the present dispensation of Being. Neither
attitude is conducive to moderate politics, and so Heidegger's
influence tends towards extremism of one form or another, modified
only by explicit departures from his thought.
