Zusammenfassung:Martin Heidegger's ties to Nazism have tarnished his stature as one of the towering figures of twentieth-century philosophy. With the publication of Heidegger's Black Notebooks, which reveal the full extent of Heidegger's anti-Semitism as well as his enduring sympathy for National Socialism, the controversy has reemerged in full force. When first published during the 1990s, Richard Wolin's The Politics of Being: The Political Thought of Martin Heidegger played a seminal role in the voluble debates that ensued over the intellectual consequences of Heidegger's Nazism. In this expanded edition, Wolin provides a substantial new preface that addresses the question of how the Black Notebooks' publication affects our understanding of the relationship between politics and philosophy in Heidegger's work. Building on his path-breaking, earlier interpretation of Heidegger's political thought, . Wolin demonstrates convincingly that philosophy and politics cannot be disentangled in Heidegger's oeuvre, insofar as. vOlkisch ideological themes suffuse even his most sublime philosophical treatises. Thus despite Heidegger's profundity as a thinker, his critique of civilization is saturated with disturbing anti-democratic and anti-Semitic leitmotifs and claims.
