Title: Heidegger in Ruins: Between Philosophy and Ideology: Between Philosophy and Ideology.
Authors: Cahan, Jean Axelrad
Abstract: "Heidegger in Ruins: Between Philosophy and Ideology" by Richard Wolin is a book that examines the political beliefs of philosopher Martin Heidegger and their influence on far-right movements. The author argues that Heidegger's philosophical work is intertwined with his support for the Nazi Party, and discusses the mistranslations and omissions in his writings that have obscured his antisemitism. The book aims to challenge Heidegger's legacy and promote democratic and pluralistic political frameworks. It also highlights Heidegger's exclusionary concept of "Bodenständigkeit" and his active promotion of Nazi ideology within academia. The author emphasizes the importance of exposing and confronting fascist ideologies to prevent their resurgence.
