German philosopher Martin Heidegger was one of the 20th century’s most feted thinkers. A new book examining his Nazism in light of the now-available evidence, is a troubling, timely read.
But this is about directly attacking Heidegger's labrynthine bullshit, for what it's worth. It's not just about pointing out the man hid his Nazi past and others were complicit in this deception. It's about refuting the actual bullshittery itself and explaining how it's been picked up by numerous other schools of thought throughout the "anti-authoritarian" left and liberals.
Edit: Oh I thought this was a reply to the other article. Yeah reading about some of the stuff Adorno wrote was really shocking considering how people presented him to me as some quirky cultural critic.
