Nature, History, State: 1933-1934 (Athlone Contemporary European Thinkers) by Martin Heidegger (EPUB)

Description

Nature, History, State: 1933-1934 presents the first complete English-language translation of Heidegger’s seminar ‘On the Essence and Concepts of Nature, History and State’, together with full introductory material and interpretive essays by five leading thinkers and scholars: Robert Bernasconi, Peter Eli Gordon, Marion Heinz, Theodore Kisiel and Slavoj Žižek. The seminar, which was held while Heidegger was serving as National Socialist rector of the University of Freiburg, represents important evidence of the development of Heidegger’s political thought. The text consists of ten ‘protocols’ on the seminar sessions, composed by students and reviewed by Heidegger. The first session’s protocol is a rather personal commentary on the atmosphere in the classroom, but the remainder have every appearance of being faithful transcripts of Heidegger’s words, in which he raises a variety of fundamental questions about nature, history and the state. The seminar culminates in an attempt to sketch a political philosophy that supports the ‘Führer state’. The text is important evidence for anyone considering the tortured question of Heidegger’s Nazism and its connection to his philosophy in general.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is an expensive purchase but if you want to satisfy your curiosity about what set the detractors on their trail, this is the document. After the first seminar, it reads like one lecture after another. This is secondary source material but some of it is quite valuable, not for its political implications, but for its clarifying value in regard to the legacy itself. The evidence is interesting, but by no means compelling.

⭐The book is not by Martin Heidegger. It’s a translation of student transcripts from a course that Heidegger chose not to include in his collected works. This is just book business, exploiting simplistic views of philosophy and Heidegger’s times. The editors posture their product as part of addressing an issue of Heidegger’s political thought, but they’re clearly decided about what they think, and this book is just part of marketing a view that has no basis in scholarship.
