I just found out he was a Nazi. At that reading was wasted. I have to discard it now.

>> No.3154769

You have a long way to go in trolling

>> No.3154772

But you've already started reading him: you're already ideologically infected, you fascist.

Seriously, if Arendt and everyone else could judge his philosophy on its own merits, can't the rest of us look past his personal flaws?

>> No.3154781

You can tell he's a Nazi by just looking at his picture.

I'd like to purchase an original A. Hitler painting on it's merits alone.

He's setting it up for himself to argue that the Nazis were right.

Also someone from /pol/ peeks in and takes this seriously, and tries to convince us that the Nazis weren't all wrong.

Hitler was a really bad painter. His landscapes are uninspired and his nudes just suck. He excels in dog portraits.

but heidegger and dasein have been taken in so many different directions since then, one might say even fundamentally opposed to nazism

for starters: lacan, badiou

also the likes of walter benjamin or now agamben are seen as the damn bleeding edge of critical theory but a lot of his analysis borrows from carl schmidt, nazi extraordinare

ideas have their own life

I didn't disagree. I was just saying what I described might be the direction the thread takes.

>> No.3154813

Say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, but it's debatable to what degree Heidegger identified with them. Sure, he was probably on the lookout for some authoritarian mold of society -- given a society based around authentic dasein's need for a strong personality behind it. He fucked Arendt, a Jew, so that's something; he was also a remarkably stubborn guy, so it's possible that he just felt too embarrassed to renounce Nazism.

There are historical accounts of Plato, broheim. You're confusing taking Plato's writings as his own views and whether any contemporary sources exist about him in any way. It's generally considered to be a bit of an oddity that he never married.

Though it's hardly positive evidence of homosexuality.

Heidegger was politically opportunistic scum, but so are a lot of other authors. I think you're confusing the ability to act morally with intelligence. Are you protestant, or something?
