Heidegger, History and the Holocaust is an important contribution
to the longstanding debate concerning Martin Heidegger's
association with National Socialism. Although a difficult topic,
this ambitious new work moves the entire debate on the Heidegger
controversy forward. Following Being and Time Heidegger expands on
his notion of authenticity and related notions such as historicity
and discusses the possibility of an authentic Dasein of a people
along structurally consistent lines to his account of authenticity
in Being and Time. O'Brien argues that the same difficulties which
appear to hamstring the early account of authenticity further
affect the notion of an authentic Dasein of a people; Heidegger's
political myopia in the thirties can thus be attributed to an
underlying failure to come to terms with some of the difficulties
discussed in this study. O'Brien concedes that Heidegger's
philosophy is influenced by its historical period and context but
argues that, however inflammatory, Heidegger's rhetoric cannot be
simply reduced to crude Nazi jingoism. This book is a genuinely
philosophical approach to the Heidegger controversy and a
much-needed re-examination of his ideas and influences.
