Description
The relation between Martin Heidegger's philosophical thought and his political commitment has been widely discussed in recent years, following the publication of Victor Farias's controversial study, "Heidegger and Nazism", published in this country by Temple University Press. "The Heidegger Case" is a collection of original essays, by both American and European philosophers, on issues raised by Heidegger's involvement with the Nazis. The contributors consider such matters as the relationship between Heidegger's philosophical theories and his public statements and activities, the ways in which his ideas on social and political life compare with those of other philosophers, and the role of philosophy with respect to politics. Author note: Tom Rockmore is Professor of Philosophy at Duquesne University. Joseph Margolis is Professor of Philosophy at Temple University. Professors Rockmore and Margolis edited "Heidegger and Nazism (Temple)" and wrote the Foreword.
