Confronting Heidegger: A Critical Dialogue on Politics and Philosophy (New Heidegger Research) explores the contentious relationship between Martin Heidegger’s thought and politics. The book delves into controversies surrounding Heidegger’s association with the National Socialist regime in Germany during the 1930s, examining his contributions to philosophical discourse through a unique dialogue format among leading Heidegger scholars. Gregory Fried initiates the discussion by engaging Emmanuel Faye over Faye’s assertion that Heidegger’s work is essentially “the introduction of Nazism into philosophy.” The ensuing debate addresses critical questions including Heidegger’s understanding of Nazism, whether a philosopher’s personal and political actions shape their intellectual legacy, the persistent dangers of fascism, and the essence of rationality and philosophy itself. Contributions from Richard Polt, Matthew Sharpe, Dieter Thomä, William Altman, and Sidonie Kellerer enrich the conversation, with thoughtful responses from Fried and Faye adding depth to the exploration.
