'The Being-with-one another of those who are hired for the same affair often thrives only on mistrust. On the other hand, when they devote themselves to the same affair in common, their doing so is determined in a manner in which their Dasein ['being-there' or 'determinate being'], each in its own way, had been taken hold of. They thus become authentically bound together...' (Being and Time, p159)
In this passage one can see that inauthenticity is associated with hired hands, whereas authenticity comes from devotion to service. Here the echo of the fascist labour gangs is unavoidable.
--- This is incredibly pig-headed. The distinction between hired hands = bad and free labor = good goes back to Ancient Greece. It's rather prominent in Karl Marx. Hey, I guess that must be where Stalin got the whole Gulag idea from!
The "they" comes straight from Lutheran theology, as anybody would know who bothered to look at what Heidegger was reading at the time -- Luther's Gesamtausgabe. It was not long after his break with the Catholic Church and corresponding spiritual crisis.
"Here the echo of the fascist labour gangs is unavoidable." Jeez. People would read things into Heidegger's laundry list if they could. "Heidegger liked to wear red and black underwear. Here the echo of the Nazi flag is unmistakable."
"Heidegger liked dogs. Here, the echo of the Wolf's Lair is unavoidable."
"Heidegger liked skiing in the mountains. Here the echo of the fascist glorification of nature is unavoidable."
"Heidegger enjoyed watching football. Here the echo of the fascist cult of the body is unavoidable."
Nu, zayats, pogodi!
