The Politics of Being: The Political Thought of Martin Heidegger by Richard Woli

The Nile on eBay   The Politics of Being: The Political Thought of Martin Heidegger by Richard Wolin

For over fifty years the philosophical achievements of Martin Heidegger have been haunted by a devil's bargain struck between the philosopher and the National Socialist movement of the early 1930s. Courageously, Richard Wolin has faced his subject head on ... and has approached his task with impressive learning and ingenuity.... This is a splendid book: vigorously argued but at the same time cautious, provocative but at the same time thoroughly responsible and discriminating.

Review

For readers still attempting not only to penetrate the enigmatic darkness into which one of our greatest philosophers withdrew but also to understand the politics of National Socialism and gain some insight into its cultural genealogy, [Richard Wolin's] The Politics of Being and The Heidegger Controversy will surely prove to be as illuminating as they are thought provoking and unsettling. I highly recommend them. -- David Michael Levin Political Theory An important and valuable contribution to the literature on Heidegger's political thought. -- Mitchell Aboulafia International Studies in Philosophy Wolin's important new book is the most definitive treatment in English of the political resonances of Heidegger's destruction of metaphysics.
