Book Description
¿Fue Heidegger antisemita? ¿Hasta qué punto se identificó con el nacionalsocialismo? Estas preguntas recuperan actualidad en el contexto de la reciente publicación de los Cuadernos negros de Martin Heidegger, que contienen sus apuntes personales y filosóficos escritos entre 1930 y 1970. Peter Trawny, el editor de estos cuadernos inéditos hasta 2014, ofrece por primera vez un análisis del proyecto filosófico de Heidegger a la luz de estas nuevas fuentes. Los primeros cuadernos, escritos durante los años de la guerra, ofrecen evidencia textual de que el antisemitismo de Heidegger forma parte de su pensamiento filosófico y político. Trawny subraya en ellos la recurrencia de expresiones antisemitas y la creencia en la existencia de una conspiración por parte de un "judaísmo mundial", que amenaza con destruir la identidad de otras naciones y culturas. Trawny traza el desarrollo de una "gran narrativa" de la "historia del ser" en las obras de Heidegger con la cultura griega y la germánica como protagonistas, y el "judaísmo mundial" como antagonista. En este sentido, el predicado "antisemita" aplicado a Heidegger resulta especialmente comprometido, pues en la mayoría de los casos se usa de una forma que implica una complicidad ideológica con el holocausto. Trawny se propone evaluar el pensamiento de Heiddegger en relación con el antisemitismo, pero intentando separarlo de la estigmatización en la que ha recaído después del holocausto. Según Trawny, los Cuadernos negros son el legado filosófico de Martin Heidegger y su publicación cambiará radicalmente la forma en que los lectores se acercarán a su pensamiento.

Book Description
The world-historical antagonist of this narrative, however, has remained hitherto undisclosed: the Jews, or more specifically "world Judaism." As Trawny shows, world Judaism emerges for Heidegger as a racialized, destructive, technological threat to the German homeland, indeed to any homeland. Trawny pinpoints recurrent anti-Semitic themes in the Notebooks, including Heidegger's adoption of crude cultural stereotypes, his assigning of racial reasons to philsophical decisions (even undermining his Jewish teacher, Edmund Husserl), his especially damning endorsement of a Jewish "world conspiracy" (such as that proposed by the Protocols of the Elders of Zion), and his first published remarks on the extermination camps and gas chambers under the troubling aegis of a Jewish "self-annihilation." Trawny concludes with a thoughtful meditation on how Heidegger's achievements might still be valued despite these horrifying facets of his thought.

Book Description
Jean-Francois Lyotard's contribution to the debate, Heidegger and 'the Jews, ' is a marked departure from the standard fare. In the first of the two interrelated essays, 'the Jews, ' Leotard quickly establishes the theme of the entire text, placing 'the Jews' in lower case, plural, and in quotation marks to represent the outsiders, the nonconformists: the artists, anarchists, blacks, homeless, Arabs, etc. --and the Jews; as an alien and dangerous disruption, they represent an 'other' to be excised from the West's dream of unbounded fulfillment and development.

Book Description
In this book, Daniel Herskowitz examines the rich, intense, and persistent Jewish engagement with one of the most important and controversial modern philosophers, Martin Heidegger. Contextualizing this encounter within wider intellectual, cultural, and political contexts, he outlines the main patterns and the diverse Jewish responses to Heidegger. Herskowitz shows that through a dialectic of attraction and repulsion, Jewish thinkers developed a version of Jewishness that sought to offer the way out of the overall crisis plaguing their world, which was embodied, as they saw it, in Heidegger's life and thought. Neither turning a blind eye to Heidegger's anti-Semitism nor using it as an excuse for ignoring his philosophy, they wrestled with his existential analytic and what they took to be its religious, ethical, and political failings. Ironically, Heidegger's thought proved itself to be fertile ground for re-conceptualizing what it means to be Jewish in the modern world.

Book Description
This innovative book investigates being Jewish not as a sectarian religiosity but as a way of being-in-the-world particularly suited to understanding Heidegger's early phenomenology. At its core is an intimate engagement with sacred texts,which grounds being Jewish in a way of life constituted as a way of reading-a way of reading transmitted to succeeding generations as a passionate teaching. Allen Scult argues that Heidegger was similarly involved in a passionate attempt to introduce his students to philosophical practice through a personal engagement with the words of Aristotle. Scult traces the hermeneutical affinity- even intimacy-between Judaism as a way of life, grounded in an intense interpretive relationship to the Torah; and Heidegger's view of philosophical practice, as a similarly intense interpretive relationship to the founding texts of Western philosophy. In tracing the dynamics of this relationship in Heideggerian and Jewish hermeneutics, Scult not only finds mutually enlightening points of contact between the two, but also uncovers new ways of understanding how Heidegger's fundamental ontology is grounded in the lived experience of religion. Allen Scult is National Endowment for the Humanities Professor of Philosophy and Rhetoric at Drake University. He is co-author of Rhetoric and Biblical Interpretation. Being Jewish/Reading Heidegger ponders what it means to read Heidegger on his own terms, that is, to read him from the place where one is, in Heidegger's language, in and from the facticity of one's own Being... To be Jewish, according to Scult, is to be entexted with Torah. Scult argues that this notion of binding one's being with a textual tradition underlies Heidegger's theory of Dasein. He uses Heidegger's lectures on Aristotle's Rhetoric to illustrate how Heidegger 'reads Aristotle' and, in doing so. . . teach[es] the Jew how to be-Jewish-in-the-world through an engagement with a textual tradition (Torah). .Shaul Magid, The Jewish Theological Seminary of America a compelling account of how being-Jewish enacts the sort of concrete, revealing relationship to a text and a world that makes meditation on being, as Heidegger - early and late - understands it, possible.

Book Description
Toward the beginning of 2013, I received reports of passages in the Black Notebooks that offered observations on Jewry, or as the case may be, world Jewry. It immediately became clear to me that the publication of the Black Notebooks would call forth a wide-spread international debate. Already in the Spring of 2013, I had asked Professor Friedrich-Wilhelm von Herrmann, last private assistant – and in the words of my grandfather, the “chief co-worker of the complete edition”, – if he might review the Notebooks as a whole, based on his profound insight into the thought of Martin Heidegger, and in particular, review those Jewish-related passages that were the focus of the public eye. Publications about the Black Notebooks quickly came to propagate catchy expressions such as “being-historical anti-Semitism” and “metaphysical anti-Semitism”. The first question that obviously arises is: Does the thought of Martin Heidegger exhibit any kind of anti-Semitism at all? In this book Professor von Herrmann now advances his hermeneutic explication. With Professor Francesco Alfieri of the Pontificia Università Lateranense he has found a colleague who has drawn up a comprehensive philological analysis of volumes GA 94 through GA 97 of the Complete Edition. The fact that Heidegger designated the hitherto published “black notebooks” as Ponderings (Überlegungen) and as Observations (Anmerkungen) has been given little consideration. He intentionally placed them at the conclusion of the Complete Edition because without acquaintance with the lectures, and above all, with the being-historical treatises that would come to be published in the framework of the Complete Edition, they would not be comprehensible.

Book Description
Franz Rosenzweig (1886-1929) is widely regarded today as one of the most original and intellectually challenging figures within the so-called renaissance of German-Jewish thought in the Weimar period. The architect of a unique kind of existential theology, and an important influence upon such philosophers as Walter Benjamin, Martin Buber, Leo Strauss, and Emmanuel Levinas, Rosenzweig is remembered chiefly as a "Jewish thinker," often to the neglect of his broader philosophical concerns. Cutting across the artificial divide that the traumatic memory of National Socialism has drawn between German and Jewish philosophy, this book seeks to restore Rosenzweig's thought to the German philosophical horizon in which it first took shape. It is the first English-language study to explore Rosenzweig's enduring debt to Hegel's political theory, neo-Kantianism, and life-philosophy; the book also provides a new, systematic reading of Rosenzweig's major work, The Star of Redemption. Most of all, the book sets out to explore a surprising but deep affinity between Rosenzweig’s thought and that of his contemporary, the German philosopher Martin Heidegger. Resisting both apologetics and condemnation, Gordon suggests that Heidegger’s engagement with Nazism should not obscure the profound and intellectually compelling bond in the once-shared tradition of modern German and Jewish thought. A remarkably lucid discussion of two notably difficult thinkers, this book represents an eloquent attempt to bridge the forced distinction between modern Jewish thought and the history of modern German philosophy—and to show that such a distinction cannot be sustained without doing violence to both.

Book Description
Martin Heidegger, fascinante en el aula, atrajo a los jóvenes intelectos más brillantes de Alemania de la década de 1920. Muchos de ellos eran judíos que al final tendrían que conciliar sus compromisos filosóficos y a menudo personales con Heidegger y las nefandas opiniones políticas de éste. En 1933 Heidegger se unió al nacionalsocialismo. Frustró la carrera de los estudiantes judíos y denunció a otros profesores que consideraba insuficientemente radicales. Durante años firmó sus cartas e inició sus clases con un " Heil Hitler! " y pagó las cuotas del partido nazi hasta su desaparición. Igualmente problemáticos para sus antiguos alumnos fueron sus sórdidos esfuerzos para hacer que el pensamiento existencialista fuera útil a los objetivos nazi y el hecho de que nunca abjurara de esas acciones. Este libro explora cómo cuatro de los alumnos judíos de Heidegger más destacados asumieron la relación de su maestro con los nazis y cómo afectó ésta a su pensamiento. Hannah Arendt, amante de Heidegger además de alumna suya, llegó a ser uno de los pensadores más destacados del siglo XX. Karl Löwith regresó a Alemania en 1953 y pronto se convirtió en uno de sus principales filósofos. Hans Jonas se hizo famoso como primer filósofo medioambientalista alemán. Herbert Marcuse conquistó celebridad como intelectual de la escuela de Frankfurt y mentor de la Nueva Izquierda. ¿Por qué paso inadvertido a todos estos brillantes cerebros lo que había en el corazón de Heidegger y en el futuro de Alemania? ¿Cómo valoraron después de la guerra las tradiciones intelectuales alemanas? ¿Pudieron salvar algunos aspectos del pensamiento de Heidegger? ¿Refleja su filosofía los estudios de su juventud o los rechaza por completo? ¿Pudieron estos heideggerianos perdonar, o al menos tratar de entender, la traición del hombre al que tanto admiraban?

Book Description
In this book, Federico Dal Bo analyzes the question of Heidegger’s anti-Semitism from a deconstructive point of view, appealing not only to philosophy but also to psychoanalysis, gender studies, and critical studies. Deconstruction famously discourages simplistic oppositions whilst encouraging a more careful analysis of cultural and philosophical complexities of a semantic field. In the present case, a deconstructive analysis of Heidegger’s anti-Semitism rejects both a stern condemnation of his oeuvre and a simplistic acquittal from this infamous accusation. It rather suggests that the question of his anti-Semitism shall be examined from the broader perspective—from the end of metaphysics.
