In the most comprehensive examination to date of Heideggerâs Nazism, Emmanuel Faye draws on previously unavailable materials to paint a damning picture of Nazismâs influence on the philosopherâs thought and politics.

In this provocative book, Faye uses excerpts from unpublished seminars to show that Heideggerâs philosophical writings are fatally compromised by an adherence to National Socialist ideas. In other documents, Faye finds expressions of racism and exterminatory anti-Semitism.

Faye disputes the view of Heidegger as a na¯ve, temporarily disoriented academician and instead shows him to have been a self-appointed âspiritual guideâ for Nazism whose intentionality was clear. Contrary to what some have written, Heideggerâs Nazism became even more radical after 1935, as Faye demonstrates. He revisits Heideggerâs masterwork, Being and Time, and concludes that in it Heidegger does not present a philosophy of individual existence but rather a doctrine of radical self-sacrifice, where individualization is allowed only for the purpose of heroism in warfare. Fayeâs book was highly controversial when originally published in France in 2005. Now available in Michael B. Smithâs fluid English translation, it is bound to awaken controversy in the English-speaking world.

Industry Reviews

"'By highlighting the links between Heideggers's politics and his philosophy, and going where other experts have so manifestly been unprepared to go, Faye has done both history and philosophy a valuable service.' (Martin Cohen, Times Higher Education) 'Emmanuel Faye has produced a well-researched and painstakingly documented indictment of Heidegger's work and life, making good use of the work of his predecessors in addition to his own original research.' (Michael Maidan, Philosophy in Review)"
