But Heidegger wasn't nearly as bad as you suggest. — Constance
He was one of those good Nazis. Sort of like Sergeant Schultz from Hogan's Heroes. Even looked like him. He didn't see anything, either. — Ciceronianus the White
Who cares? — Constance

He unapologetically supported murderers and antisemites and fascists. Again, the Dasein was Hitler-compatible ... And even after the war Heidi had to be "de-nazified". :shade:Heidegger wasn't nearly as bad as you suggest. He murdered no one ... — Constance
So what?! Heidi enthusiastically recommended the militantly racist, antisemitic Mein Kampf (1925, 1933) – ideological bible of Endlösung der Judenfrage – to his own brother. WTF. :brow:I hope that you will read Hitler’s book; its first few autobiographical chapters are weak. This man has a remarkable and sure political instinct, and he had it even while all of us were still in a haze, there is no way of denying that. The National Socialist movement will soon gain a wholly different force. It is not about mere party politics—it’s about the redemption or fall of Europe and western civilization. Anyone who does not get it deserves to be crushed by the chaos. Thinking about these things is no hindrance to the spirit of Christmas, but marks our return to the character and task of the Germans, which is to say to the place where this beautiful celebration originates. — Heidegger's letter to his brother, 1931

He did not openly support Nazism after they started murdering people. — Gregory
Can you cite the passages that call for murder of Jews? That work was clearly a hysterical attempt to unite a nation and many people didn't take everything in it literally. — Gregory
To me equally plain was the significance of physical terrorism toward the individual and toward the masses. Here too was exact calculation of psychological effect.
Terrorism on the job, in the factory , in the meeting hall and at mass demonstrations will always be successful unless equal terrorism opposes it.
Then indeed, the party screams bloody murder, and - old despiser of state authority that it is - yells for help from that quarter, in most cases only to gain its end after all in the general confusion. That is to say, it finds some jackass of a high official who, in the silly hope of making the dreaded enemy perhaps more kindly disposed some day, helps to break down the adversary of this universal pestilence.
The impression of such a success on the great man of both adherents and and antagonists can be be realized only by a man who knows the soul of a people not from books but from life. While its partisans regard it as triumph of right for their cause, the beaten opponent usually despairs of any success for any future resistance.
The better I learned to know the methods of physical terrorism in particular the more did I beg the pardon of the hundreds and thousands who succumbed to it.
That is the thing for which I am most profoundly grateful to that period of suffering; it alone gave me back by my people, and I learned to distinguish the victims from the deceivers. — Hitler, published by Stackpole
