In 1933 the philosopher Martin Heidegger declared his allegiance to
Hitler. Ever since, scholars have asked to what extent his work is
implicated in Nazism. To address this question properly involves
neither conflating Nazism and the continuing philosophical project
that is Heidegger's legacy, nor absolving Heidegger and, in the
process, turning a deaf ear to what he himself called the
philosophical motivations for his political engagement. It is
important to establish the terms on which Heidegger aligned himself
with National Socialism. On the basis of an untimely but by no
means unprecedented understanding of the mission of the German
people, the philosopher first joined but then also criticized the
movement. An exposition of Heidegger's conception of Volk hence can
and must treat its merits and deficiencies as a response to the
enduring impasse in contemporary political philosophy of the
dilemma between liberalism and authoritarianism.
