No it doesn't do its job very well and I'm certainly not an angry Neo-Nazi, btw, but just an angry Heidegger reader (of over 20 years) who is sick to death of all the shallow interpretations of his thought which are STILL doing the rounds. The documentary is superficial and does not take everything into consideration. This really p*sses me off - and would continue to do so even if the accusations against him were later to be somehow verified. Talk about his THOUGHT for God's sake !

[zarakhast]

As per usual - no talk about Heidegger's thought. Just speculation about his "politics". How learned. How intelligent !

"Foucault... Derrida... are footnotes to Heidegger" , awesome!

really ? Nazism? Heidegger lived a life of a genius and this is all they got to say about him? Yes it happened but move the fk on

[zarakhast]

Heidegger called Mein Kampf "unreadable" (i.e. absolutely dreadful rubbish). For anyone to see similarities between Hitler's scribblings and the thinking of Heidegger is a sign of superficial reading.

@beneaththewaterline I felt they didn't include enough of Main Kampf in the doc. The similarities of Mein Kampg and Heidegger's work is amazing.

@TheDavid2222 But it is easy to see how ideologies are bad in that they lead to a polarization of ideals and pointless fights. I am studying psychology and have a keen interest in theoretical roots. I am on a self learning adventure. I think Nietzsche would agree with my search. You are right he was rather tortured and although he may have spoke about being against anger you can not deny humanity only embrace it (Jung).

[zarakhast]

Heidegger spoke AGAINST anger. See his "Letter on Humanism". If anyone thinks that THIS world is NOT full of anger, that Heidegger's objections to it were somehow misguided, and that H. himself was motivated by a desire for destruction is tragically - and comically - misguided. Philosophy probes far more deeply into things than science can ever hope to. The rule of modern science is the NADIR of Western history. Its rule is based on the death of philosophy itself, beginning with Socrates.

[TheDavid2222]

I think Heidegger was probably just a REALLY angry guy. It's amazing what anger can do to a person. When your angry you only want to destroy, so his actions become a little understandable if he's emotionally unstable.

[TheDavid2222]

@eleod11 I've studied alot of Nietzsche and I don't see how ideology is irrelevant. He condemns Christianity as being a life draining ideology. Same with Buddhism. He considers many ideologies to be "against life". I have read a couple of his FULL works and he stresses quite a bit on ideologies.

His nephew only knew of his uncle's Nazi connection in '44? That's years after Heidegger joined the Party..

[IStehSHIT]

heidgers philosophy is about project, you don't see this nazi affair as a project? if you do, then there needs to be no more question, he never developed any existenailistic moral, de de beauvoir did years later.
