Description

Martin Heidegger's Black Notebooks have sparked intense debate about his involvement with Nazism. For the first time, these thousand-odd pages reveal the full extent of his anti-Semitism, challenging our understanding of the philosopher's life and work. Heidegger's "metaphysical anti-Semitism" was a central part of his philosophical project, according to renowned philosopher Donatella Di Cesare. In this context, Heidegger saw Jewishness as linked to modernity and its disfiguring effects on Western culture. This groundbreaking book explores the connection between Heidegger's thought and the Holocaust, shedding new light on one of the most complex and contentious issues in philosophy. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in Heidegger's life, work, and legacy, as well as scholars of philosophy and history.
