'An aphorism, properly stamped and molded, has not been "deciphered" when it has simply been read; rather one has then to begin its interpretation, for which is required an art of interpretation.' -- Nietzsche, 'On the Genealogy of Morals'

Heidegger & freedom « Previous | |Next »
November 6, 2004

An interesting paper on Heidegger and freedom by Craig Nichols, which shows that Heiodegger worked with a positive conception of freedom inherited from German idealism.

This helps to counter the concentional view of Heidegger as a fundamentally un-political philosopher, one whose post-rectorial Nazi career was marked by "total withdrawal." This interpretation misses the deeply political nature of Heidegger's work after 1935 and it simplifies the extraordinarily complex thought path of a major thinker.
