- In this episode, Xavier Bonilla has a dialogue with Richard Wolin about the dark side of Martin Heidegger. They discuss the black notebooks of Heidegger and what are the nature and intentions of these black notebooks. They dialogue about reading the antisemitic and Nazi themes in these notebooks with Heidegger’s philosophy. They talk about Heidegger being a member of the Nazi party, editing and re-editing his works, his views on race, and the impact these views have on his philosophy. They also talk about the New Right, Dugin, reading Heidegger in the 21st century, and many more topics.
Richard Wolin is a Distinguished Professor of Comparative Literature, History, & Political Science at The City University of New York. He has a PhD in Social and Political Thought from York University. His main interests are on 20th century French and German political thought. He is the author of numerous books including the most recent, Heidegger In Ruins: Between Philosophy and Ideology.

I haven't read H in Ruins (though I have read Wolin's earlier book The Heidegger Controversy). I wonder if it will tell us what H actually says about Jews. We don't learn anything from this interview. My impression from the Notebooks is that H was much more hostile to Americanism and to Christianity than he was to Jews. And it is obvious that whatever he thought Naziism could have been (the 'inner strength and greatness') he had deep contempt for what it actually was. Here he is on Hitler's war against Russia: 'A great, precipitous, historiographical assault upon Russia, a limitless, ongoing exploitation of raw materials for the intricacies of the “machine.” The danger is not “Bolshevism,” but rather we ourselves in that we impose upon it its metaphysical essence (without comprehending it as such) intensified to the extreme-and deprive the Russian and German worlds of their history.' Thus to 'deprive it of its own concealed essence through renewed and radical implication in the machination to which we ourselves have fallen prey.'
I highly encouraging reading this book.
Does anyone know where I can read more about the story at 36:08 about Heidegger visiting the Nietzsche Archive in May 1934? Did Wolin himself write about it? I don't think he mentions it in this particular book.
No matter how you try to justify him, the great thinker emerged from a german uncritical narcissism filling his head.
Being a random sense of conditions in probability of being there after the fact of life not being itself while illustrating the if so abilification of negated but so the way my brain is working is not particularly relevant to us
Why do Americans pronounce Semitic "semetic"?
Dark side?? For me it’s the bright and right side…:)
Why is there never a discussion on banning Marx. After all many more died because of his theories, than from the Heideggerian take on being? We have in philosophy the left Hegelians, and the right Hegelians. Same with Heidegger. The entire French postmodern thinking is founded in Heidegger, which is the ground of the woke revolution today. Overall, not a single word of what Heidegger actually thought. Just politically correct simplifications. But that’s enough for today’s colleges.
Marx is a much more popular and populist figure.
He is easier to understand than Heidegger, his message being much simpler.
Is banning Heidegger discussed here? Where in the world is anyone actually calling for banning Heidegger? In contrast, Marx's works have been banned by many fascist dictatorships over the years (e.g., Nazi Germany, for starters), and the right in the US regularly calls for banning Marx and other left-wing authors. Note that nothing Marx wrote entails the massacres you mention, but Heidegger explicitly calls for the annihilation of Jews and other "non-historical" races in the Black Notebooks.
If you care about postmodernism, you should also read Richard Wolin's book on the subject. He shows that its ties with conservatism and fascism are much closer than you think. Hardly surprising, given that its roots are in Nietzsche, Kierkegaard and Heidegger. That Paul de Man (a Nazi) was a key figure makes total sense from that perspective.
Why don't you go ahead and justify nazism and the holocost? Because that's what you are drivibg at anyway. Shame on you
