{"product_id":"9780231543026","title":"The Politics of Being: The Political Thought of Martin Heidegger","description":"Martin Heidegger’s ties to Nazism have tarnished his stature as one of the towering figures of twentieth-century philosophy. With the publication of Heidegger’s Black Notebooks, which reveal the full extent of Heidegger’s anti-Semitism as well as his enduring sympathy for National Socialism, the controversy has reemerged in full force. When first published during the 1990s, Richard Wolin’s \u003ci\u003eThe Politics of Being: The Political Thought of Martin Heidegger\u003c\/i\u003e played a seminal role in the voluble debates that ensued over the intellectual consequences of Heidegger’s Nazism. In this expanded edition, Wolin provides a substantial new preface that addresses the question of how the Black Notebooks’ publication affects our understanding of the relationship between politics and philosophy in Heidegger’s work. Building on his path-breaking, earlier interpretation of Heidegger’s political thought,.Wolin demonstrates convincingly that philosophy and politics cannot be disentangled in Heidegger’s oeuvre, insofar as. \u003ci\u003evölkisch\u003c\/i\u003e ideological themes suffuse even his most sublime philosophical treatises. Thus despite Heidegger’s profundity as a thinker, his critique of civilization is saturated with disturbing anti-democratic and anti-Semitic leitmotifs and claims.","brand":"Columbia University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47124615102704,"sku":"9780231543026","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780231543026_p0.jpg?v=1763679100","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780231543026","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
