Description
Richard Polt's new book offers a fresh perspective on Heidegger's thought during his most politicized period. By examining central themes from the 1930s, such as inception and the question "Who are we?", Polt reveals how they grow from seeds planted in Being and Time and are woven into Heidegger's political thought.
Polt critiques Heidegger for his failure to understand the political realm, but also draws on his ideas to propose a "traumatic ontology" that understands individual and collective existence as identities always in question. This bold attempt to gain philosophical insight from Heidegger's most problematic phase sheds new light on the thinker's engagement with the Nazi movement.
Working with recently published texts, including Heidegger's Black Notebooks, Polt provides a nuanced exploration of Heidegger's political thought and its relevance to contemporary philosophical debates. This book is an important contribution to our understanding of Heidegger's legacy and its ongoing impact on philosophy.
