[ Uh, my Ph.D. work was on Heidegger. My dissertation was on Heidegger and Arendt. I have read all these books several times. Farias is garbage. When Heidegger was 18, he wrote an article on a famous clergyman who was an anti-Semite; ergo, Heidegger must have been an anti-Semite!

You know, it is perfectly possible to be a fascist and not be an anti-Semite. It is even possible to be a fascist and anti-Nazi (Junger). Behold the subtleties of the world! ---

Oy vey!

The Heidegger heads here know these sources but, I guess you don't. "Books about Heidegger and politics." http://www.webcom.com/~paf/hb/hbpolit.html The Farias was the opening salvo in the Heidegger wars. The first edition of the Richard Wolin collection (who has a forthcoming volume on the influence of Nietzsche) from MIT Press, exciting a successful lawsuit by Derrida, though all he did was reprint an interview from Le Monde or Le Nouvel Observateur. Rockmore also has a good book on Lukacs and irrationalism. Zimmerman has a very good book also on Deep Ecology from UC Press.
