Ebook: Heidegger's Polemos: From Being to Politics

Gregory Fried offers in this book a careful investigation of Martin Heidegger's understanding of politics. Fried focuses not on the debate over Heidegger's personal involvement with Nazism, but on whether and how the formulation of the philosopher's ontology relates to the political thinking expressed in his philosophical works. Many postmodernists, Fried shows, fail to avoid the same political pitfalls Heidegger's thinking entailed.
