Heidegger And The Ideology Of War by Domenico Losurdo
The book offers a critical reassessment of Martin Heidegger’s political commitments, arguing that elements in his ontology and public interventions—notably his rectoral politics, engagement with nationalist and conservative-revolutionary currents, and silence about Nazi crimes—contributed to an ideological framework that normalized war, authoritarianism, and exclusionary racial thinking. It traces continuities between his philosophical motifs and the political milieu of interwar Germany, reads lectures, essays, and correspondence to show how metaphysical themes could be translated into political legitimations, and scrutinizes postwar attempts to minimize or rehabilitate his responsibility. The result is a polemical reappraisal that challenges the separation of Heidegger’s philosophy from his politics and insists on the ethical and historical consequences of that entanglement.
