This is the first English translation of the seminar Martin
Heidegger gave during the Winter of 1934-35, which dealt with
Hegel's Philosophy of Right. This remarkable text is the only one
in which Heidegger interprets Hegel's masterpiece in the tradition
of Continental political philosophy while offering a glimpse into
Heidegger's own political thought following his engagement with
Nazism. It also confronts the ideas of Carl Schmitt, allowing
readers to reconstruct the relation between politics and ontology.
The book is enriched by a collection of interpretations of the
seminar, written by select European and North American political
thinkers and philosophers. Their essays aim to make the seminar
accessible to students of political theory and philosophy, as well
as to open new directions for debating the relation between the two
disciplines. A unique contribution, this volume makes available key
lectures by Heidegger that will interest a wide readership of
students and scholars.
This book contributes to the work of elucidating the new forms of
fascism and authoritarianism that arise today in intimate relation
with new mediatic and information technologies. It presents
elements of the connection between capitalism and fascism and makes
clear how fascism today uses the ambiguity of senses and meanings
as its most efficient way of infiltrating our reality and thereby
becoming unequivocal. The fascism of ambiguity is a fascism that
grows the more the ambiguities and paradoxical dimensions of the
contemporary situation become explicit. It departs from some
lessons of history regarding both historical fascism and some of
the main critical lines and thoughts produced in the beginning of
the 20th Century. It shows what is new in today’s form of
fascism, discussing its connection to techno-mediatic capitalism,
to the dynamics of emptying meanings and senses through a technique
of rendering them ambiguous and exacerbated. It outlines some
guiding thoughts regarding the question of ambiguity and
metapolitics today and concludes by proposing two exercises of
precision, through the lenses of poetry and music, as a way to
resist and counter-act the fascist metapolitics of the ambiguity of
meanings and senses.
