• Banal evil vs. radical evil; or, Arendt reappraised

  
  Blog on the Run: Reloaded — Authority: 436
  I recently read an essay — in the New Yorker, I think, although I can’t remember for sure — that argues that on the basis of what we now know about Martin Heidegger, his anti-Semitism is so virulent that it renders him an inappropriate subject for serious study. Never having read any Heidegger, I’m agnostic ...

• Heidegger’s Legacy

  
  Apparatchicks — Authority: 91
  Today I was reading an article in The Chronicle of Higher Education about Heidegger and his Nazi sympathies. Well, maybe sympathy is too weak a term. The author of the article, Carlin Romano, sides with scholars who say Heidegger’s philosophy is derived from his Nazism, and concludes that Heidegger is too deeply ...

• PoMo Conservative against Atheists

  
  Mormon Metaphysics — Authority: 131
  The PostModern Conservative has a post up against New Atheism. “…hit the new atheists hard with the Heideggerian criticism of the vulgarity of their materialism. They cowardly avoid the question of being, of why is there is being rather than nothing at all, or of even why scientists or other free persons ...

• Why Read Heidegger

  
  The New Republic - damon linker Feed — Authority: 99
  German philosopher Martin Heidegger gets a lot of bad press. And for good reason. He was an enthusiastic supporter of the Nazis, he did and said and wrote some nasty things before and after serving as the rector of Freiburg University from 1933-1934, and though he eventually distanced himself from his earlier ...

• Swept Under the Rug

  
  Sporadic Maunderings — Authority: 118
  When I took the course on Existentialism, we read some Heidegger. If you can slog through the word-salad of his book, there seem to be interesting and even useful ideas in it. Even before we started in on it, though, Dr. Levenson warned us about Heideggers history, and commented that generally when Heidegger was ...

• On the difficulty of reading Derrida

  
  A Piece of Monologue: The Online Journal of Rhys Tranter — Authority: 430
  From Catherine Belseys superb introduction to poststructuralism: Q. Derrida is very hard to read. Why doesnt he write more simply? Doesnt he want to communicate? A. There are three reasons why we have difficulty reading Derrida. The first is that he is a (Continental) philosopher, with a range of reference that ...

  Foucault blog — Authority: 113
  The Chronicle of Higher Education last week had a popular, even sensationalist story entitled Heil Heidegger! by a guy called Carlin Romano, whose main aim seems to be to make fun of Heidegger as a strategy of undermining his influence. A flavor:How many scholarly stakes in the heart will we need before Martin ...

• Carlin Romanos Wrongheaded Heidegger Assessment

  
  Brow Beat — Authority: 129
  Was Martin Heidegger Hitlers most willing executioner, or the 20 th centurys greatest philosopher? Is it possible he was both? Imagine what it takes to answer that question honestly. Heideggers prose is notoriously difficult. To his critics, wresting clarity from Being and Time is like trying to inhale the ...

• Reading Heidegger

  
  Working notes — Authority: 493
  Reading Heidegger is always a remarkable experience. It can be, at times, absolutely exhilarating. Other times it is a real slog. Whats remarkable, though, is that none of this occurs in the regular way: whats exhilarating isnt typically exhilarating, whats a slog isnt like your usual slog (if I can say such a ...

• Heidegger 2 Twitter: Technology, Self & Social Networks. [del.icio.us]

  
  Remarkk! — Authority: 490
  Heidegger describes technology not simply as a collection of artifacts but as an all encompassing world view “the technological understanding of being.” A culture’s assembled tools and practices define for them a particular way of both seeing and interacting with the world. This has changed through a series of ...
