  • How does the Heidegger's work Being and Time relate to the Conservative revolution in Germany?
    Forget that... I meant somebody else whose name I don't remember ....a current, right-wing Russian "continental" (--ish?)? philosopher.
  • How does the Heidegger's work Being and Time relate to the Conservative revolution in Germany?
    Maybe Ivan Ilyin can venture an opinion.
    NYRB headlines Ilyin as "Putin's Philosopher." An academic type, perhaps at least a bit into the German Idealism/Romantic schtick......as embraced at the edges by Nazi Heidegger -- et al.
  • Heidegger on technology:
    Ernst Junger wrote a couple of things in early 1939s that gave H. a lot of his ideas on Technology. EJ's "Worker" and "Total Mobilization" maybe.

    Neither of the EJ works have been translated, and I haven't read them, but a few write-ups on the subject make it pretty clear. Translated volume of their correspondence was interesting, chummy, but somewhat disappointing. One or two essays they "exchanged" were better.

    The way I read it, from an entirely personal and "non-philosophical" viewpoint, it's a bit hyperbolic; a useful and maybe call it metaphorical description.
