Stephen Hicks does a good job of evincing Davis's attitudes, which provides important context. In case the CEEE channel disappears, I hope that this interview remains available.
To claim that the reason he didn't rewrite his works after the war was because he was 'narcissistic' displays the difference between those who 'think' for money and a man whose standards of truth is beyond the reach of money.
Yes, to me it adds to the credit of the person, when it doesn't role where the wind is blowing, whenever the political power relations do change. And well, Heidegger was right about many things. Including Jews in many ways.
I can think of another reason why Heidegger never spoke about National Socialism after the war: there was what I like to call national amnesia on the subject. Nobody talked about what happened right after the war - I grew up in the 50s, I remember.... there was too much pain, too many things nobody wanted to remember, so it took almost a whole generation until the subjects could be approached again.

The statement is correct. Friedrich the Great spoke French and only German to peasants and horses. All his writings including his famous attack to Machiavelli, were in French.
@@OscarCuzzani As king, Frederick was renowned for being a fine military strategist; but he also continued to show artistic flair in his musical compositions and his writing. He conjectured on history, tackled philosophy and penned verse - and he did so all in French, not German. When Frederick received Johann Christoph Gottsched in 1757, he is reported to have admitted that he spoke German like a coachman (‘comme un cocher’); French was Frederick’s preferred language of scholarly and literary discourse. The infamous words supposedly uttered by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V (1500-1558) are frequently (mis)attributed to Frederick: that he spoke Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men and German to his horse. Nevertheless, the commonly held belief that Frederick was disparaging of the German language is absolutely correct.
van Davies acknowledged that his film was one sided. Pity to watch a film that didn’t recognize the merits of a thinker. Many famous artists, scientists had a dark side in their lives, we all still accept that humans are not perfect. The idea of Heidegger being narcissistic may explain his reluctance to apologize. Another element that I have missed is that Nietzsche was not mentioned. Did Heidegger neglected him because Nietzsche was pro Semitic? As we out in scientific papers, more research is needed.
Your video is very beautiful. I like it a lot. I have been trying to talk to you for a long time. I am waiting for your response. Please give me a chance to talk to you😍
Great talk and great film! What a passion project!
Thank you for sharing! I'll be looking for this film.
this is such a good philosophy channel
Thanks for all your posts!

" I have a masters degree in Philosophy, I'm not a philosopher." I didn't know being a philosopher was so exclusive.
I know! I laughed.
Reminds me of Leo Strauss who insisted he was not a philosopher but only a scholar.

I agree. I think Heidegger had a historic view of his work and perceived that his work was way ahead of his time, like Nietzsche realized too.

Superb post.....I have followed the similar tradition.......
Prof. Hicks, please analyze what elements of Heidegger appear in the ideological writings of the PRC communist intellectual and official Wang Huning.
I haven't read those works. Where's the best place to start?

An interesting definition of the word Goal.... Please keep on banging it on napoleons card you Star spangled gypsy 👌💚💣♒
Carlos V spoke german to his horse, not Frederick the Great.

why is that? save us from what?
Basically he meant the modern world in general- technology especially.

Ridiculous journalism
I saw the documentary and was very impressed. What did Victor Farias say that was so controversial that needed to be omitted from the film?
Philosophy is the pursuit of irelavince some believe it answers the truth of being ,it's just a opinion
