Heidegger and Nazism: Ever since the philosopher’s public
involvement in state politics in 1933, his name has necessarily
been a part of this unsavory couple. After the publication in 2014
of the private Black Notebooks, it is now unambiguously part of
another: Heidegger and anti-Semitism. What do we learn from
analyzing the anti-Semitism of these private writings, together
with its sources and grounds, not only for Heidegger’s thought,
but for the history of the West in which this thought is embedded?
Jean-Luc Nancy poses these questions with the depth and rigor we
would expect from him. In doing so, he does not go lightly on
Heidegger, in whom he finds a philosophical and “historial”
anti-Semitism, outlining a clash of “peoples” that must at all
costs arrive at “another beginning.” If Heidegger’s
uncritical acceptance of prejudices and long-debunked myths about
“world Jewry” shares in the “banality” evoked by Hannah
Arendt, this does nothing to lessen the charge. Nancy’s purpose,
however, is not simply to condemn Heidegger but rather to invite us
to think something to which the thinker of being remained blind:
anti-Semitism as a self-hatred haunting the history of the
West—and of Christianity in its drive toward an auto-foundation
that would leave behind its origins in Judaism.
