The Heidegger Case cover

Presents a collection of essays, by both American and European philosophers, on issues raised by Heidegger's involvement with the Nazis. This book considers such matters as the relationship between Heidegger's philosophical theories and his public statements and activities, and his ideas on social and political life compared to other philosophers.Original essays raising issues concerning Heidegger's involvement with the Nazis

"[These] essays together form an extraordinary response, and radical but not self-righteous challenge, to Heidegger's unambiguous complicity with Hitler and Nazism....This book will provoke intense dialogue and controversy about issues which, for too long, too many philosophers have chosen either to gloss over or ignore."
