Opis

Heidegger, History and the Holocaust is an important contribution to the longstanding debate concerning Martin Heidegger's association with some of the most significant and terrible events of the 20th century, most notably National Socialism and the Holocaust. This is a difficult topic, but this book moves the entire debate on 'Heidegger and the Political' forward. Mahon O'Brien argues that Heidegger's philosophy on technology (in particular it's essence - Gestell) can be understood as a profound engagement with the atrocities of the Holocaust, and that his philosophy suggests that such an event is not an anomaly in Western history but remains an ongoing possibility. The author concedes that Heidegger's philosophy is influenced by its historical period and context and his apparent ambivalence on the issue of anti-Semitism, but argues that - however inflammatory - Heidegger's rhetoric was not simply crude Nazi jingoism. This book is a genuinely philosophical approach to the 'Heidegger problem' and a much-needed historical re-examination of his ideas and influences.
