German philosopher Martin Heidegger was one of the 20th century’s most feted thinkers. A new book examining his Nazism in light of the now-available evidence, is a troubling, timely read.

    Gabriel Rockhill: The CIA & the Frankfurt School’s Anti-Communism (emphasis mine):

    Adorno also pursued this line of thinking, or rather feeling, in his criticisms of anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist student activism of the 1960s. He agreed with Habermas—who had himself been a member of the Hitler Youth and studied for four years under the “Nazi philosopher” (his description of Heidegger)—that this activism amounted to “Left fascism.”

      But this is about directly attacking Heidegger’s labrynthine bullshit, for what it’s worth. It’s not just about pointing out the man hid his Nazi past and others were complicit in this deception. It’s about refuting the actual bullshittery itself and explaining how it’s been picked up by numerous other schools of thought throughout the “anti-authoritarian” left and liberals.

      Edit: Oh I thought this was a reply to the other article. Yeah reading about some of the stuff Adorno wrote was really shocking considering how people presented him to me as some quirky cultural critic.

      The man argued truth didn’t exist in the absence of humanlike entities. Bro denied the existence of reality. He said that art was a truer representation of the world than scientific measurements.
