What does it mean when a radical understanding of National
Socialism is inextricably embedded in the work of the twentieth
century's most important philosopher? Martin Heidegger's sympathies
for the conservative revolution and National Socialism have long
been well known. As the rector of the University of Freiburg in the
early 1930s, he worked hard to reshape the university in accordance
with National Socialist policies. He also engaged in an all-out
struggle to become the movement's philosophical preceptor, "to lead
the leader." Yet for years, Heidegger's defenders have tried to
separate his political beliefs from his philosophical doctrines.
They argued, in effect, that he was good at philosophy but bad at
politics. But with the 2014 publication of Heidegger's Black
Notebooks, it has become clear that he embraced a far more radical
vision of the conservative revolution than previously suspected.
His dissatisfaction with National Socialism, it turns out, was
mainly that it did not go far enough. The notebooks show that far
from being separated from Nazism, Heidegger's philosophy was
suffused with it. In this book Richard Wolin explores what the
notebooks mean for our understanding of arguably the most important
philosopher of the twentieth century, and of his ideas-and why his
legacy remains radically compromised.
