The Heidegger Controversy: A Critical Reader

About this book

This anthology is a significant contribution to the debate over the relevance of Martin Heideggers Nazi ties to the interpretation and evaluation of his philosophical work. Included are a selection of basic documents by Heidegger essays and letters by Heideggers colleagues that offer contemporary context and testimony and interpretive evaluations by Heideggers heirs and critics in France and Germany.In his new introduction "Note on a Missing Text " Richard Wolin uses the absence from this edition of an interview with Jacques Derrida as a springboard for examining questions about the nature of authorship and personal responsibility that are at the heart of the book.
