Description
Hitler's Philosophers by Yvonne Sherratt explores the complex relationship between Adolf Hitler and the intellectuals who supported him. This gripping account uncovers the darker side of Germany's intellectual elite, revealing how philosophers like Martin Heidegger and Carl Schmitt lent the Nazi regime a cloak of respectability. Sherratt delves into international archives to uncover evidence of Hitler's manipulation of noble thinkers, including Kant, Nietzsche, and Darwin. She also examines the fates of those who opposed him, such as Walter Benjamin and Kurt Huber, who were hunted down or murdered. The book sheds light on the ongoing legacy of Nazi ideology in Western Universities today. By tracing the lives of these influential thinkers, Sherratt provides a nuanced understanding of how Hitler's regime came to power and the devastating consequences that followed.
