Reviews

Farias, a Chilean exile in Germany and sometime student of Heidegger, provides a fascinating journey into the life and times of one of the century's preeminent philosophers. In addition to the biographical detail, there is an in-depth examination of a wide range of Heidegger's writings; the gamut runs from his early work on the anti-Semitic monk Abraham a Sancta Clara, through his famous address as rector of the University of Freiburg in 1933, to a posthumously published interview. This extensively researched work makes a good case that Heidegger's association with and adherence to Nazism was much greater than is generally recognized. How this affected his philosophy proper is a topic that can, should, and undoubtedly will be debated as a result of this important, controversial book.
