The recent publication of his \u003ci\u003eBlack Notebooks\u003c\/i\u003e has reignited fierce debate on the subject. These thousand-odd pages of jotted observations profoundly challenge our image of the quiet philosopher's exile in the Black Forest, revealing the shocking extent of his anti-Semitism for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor much of the philosophical community, the \u003ci\u003eBlack Notebooks\u003c\/i\u003e have been either used to discredit Heidegger or seen as a bibliographical detail irrelevant to his thought. Yet, in this new book, renowned philosopher Donatella Di Cesare argues that Heidegger's \"metaphysical anti-Semitism\" was a central part of his philosophical project. Within the context of the Nuremberg race laws, Heidegger felt compelled to define Jewishness and its relationship to his concept of Being. Di Cesare shows that Heidegger saw the Jews as the agents of a modernity that had disfigured the spirit of the West. In a deeply disturbing extrapolation, he presented the Holocaust as both a means for the purification of Being and the Jews' own \"self-destruction\": a process of death on an industrialized scale that was the logical conclusion of the acceleration in technology they themselves had brought about. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSituating Heidegger's anti-Semitism firmly within the context of his thought, this groundbreaking work will be essential reading for students and scholars of philosophy and history as well as the many readers interested in Heidegger's life, work, and legacy.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword page vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eI Between Politics and Philosophy 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
