FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description What does it mean when a radical understanding of National Socialism is inextricably embedded in the work of the twentieth centurys most important philosopher? Martin Heideggers sympathies for the conservative revolution and National Socialism have long been well known. As the rector of the University of Freiburg in the early 1930s, he worked hard to reshape the university in accordance with National Socialist policies. He also engaged in an all-out struggle to become the movements philosophical preceptor, "to lead the leader." Yet for years, Heideggers defenders have tried to separate his political beliefs from his philosophical doctrines. They argued, in effect, that he was good at philosophy but bad at politics. But with the 2014 publication of Heideggers "Black Notebooks," it has become clear that he embraced a far more radical vision of the conservative revolution than previously suspected. His dissatisfaction with National Socialism, it turns out, was mainly that it did not go far enough. The notebooks show that far from being separated from Nazism, Heideggers philosophy was suffused with it. In this book, Richard Wolin explores what the notebooks mean for our understanding of arguably the most important philosopher of the twentieth century, and of his ideas—and why his legacy remains radically compromised. Author Biography Richard Wolin is distinguished professor of history, political science, and comparative literature at the CUNY Graduate Center. He is the author of Heideggers Children: Hannah Arendt, Karl Löwith, Hans Jonas, and Herbert Marcuse and The Seduction of Unreason: The Intellectual Romance with Fascism from Nietzsche to Postmodernism. Review "[An] informed, richly documented study. . . . A timely reminder of the value of those social democratic and liberal traditions."—Steven Aschheim, Times Literary Supplement"Combines close readings of Heideggers key writings with a rich cultural, literary and political history. . . . Wolins evidence-based work is its own riposte to the ludic mythomania of the philosophers political fanboys."—Lyndsey Stonebridge, New Statesman"A timely work of enduring importance."—Jeffrey Herf, Quillette"Wolin raises the discussion concerning Heideggers proximity to National Socialism to a new level. . . . Taken as a whole, [Wolins] volume is impressive for its thoroughgoing, source-related approach . . . as well as its detailed and profound knowledge of German intellectual and cultural history."—Lukas Bormann, Zeitschrift fÜr Religions- und Geistesgeschichte"One of Richard Wolins merits is that he does not fear the Heidegger apology industry. Instead, we receive an extremely convincing accident report on a Philosophy in Ruins, an analysis of the entire work. . . . Heideggers National Socialism was not external and temporary. His apocalyptic philosophical self-understanding speaks for itself."—Fredrik Agell, Dagens Nyheter (Stockholm)"Heidegger in Ruins is an uncompromising and incisive reassessment of Heideggers philosophy. Wolin convincingly demonstrates that he differed from his ideological competitors only in his more radical vision of a racial elect. Today, Heideggerianism survives in a variety of contemporary new right thinkers from Moscow to Charlottesville."—Anson Rabinbach, Princeton University"For three decades, Richard Wolin has battled strong headwinds to demonstrate the links between Heideggers vile politics and his sublime philosophy. Wolins latest effort shows that the winds have shifted and the mighty fortress built by Heidegger and his defenders has been blown away."—Martin Jay, author of Genesis and Validity"Richard Wolins detailed and powerful analysis will be a widely read and widely discussed contribution to the debate over Heidegger and Nazism."—Alan E. Steinweis, author of Studying the Jew: Scholarly Antisemitism in Nazi Germany Review Quote "Richard Wolins detailed and powerful analysis will be a widely read and widely discussed contribution to the debate over Heidegger and Nazism."--Alan E. Steinweis, author of Studying the Jew: Scholarly Antisemitism in Nazi Germany Description for Bookstore In this book, Richard Wolin examines the understanding of National Socialism that suffused Martin Heideggers "Black Notebooks" and explores what the notebooks mean for our understanding of arguably the most important philosopher of the twentieth century, and of his ideas--and why his legacy remains radically compromised.
