Would anybody be able to explain why Heidegger was so exciting to so many? For my part I have found his commentaries on Heraclitus, Husserl and Plato to be of...
My response - though puny - has the merit of being sincere. I too find Heidegger compelling as a commentator on Heraclitus, in more than one book. And I...
In Heidegger's defense, he posed certain important questions in an arresting manner. "The Question Concerning Technology" for one example among many. As...
I agree with Mr. Harter when he says that the real question is sociological rather than having much to do with Heidegger. I think the key with Heidegger is...

I think this presupposes a connection between Heidegger's existentialism of the 1920s and his support of National Socialism in the late 1930s. I don't see how...
