The dilemma of Heidegger's disastrous anti-Semitism is explored here by top scholars who ask us to reflect on the nature of this racist aspect of the great philosopher's thought while asking us also not to dismiss his work on account of that predilection. Since he changed the way philosophy took on the world in revolutionary ways, it is hard to dismiss him - after this probing series of essays, I won't think so easily on it either - and I'm no expert. It raises issues about all 'great' figures and their predispositions, and the corners they got themselves into (Paul de Man springs to mind). This is truly a terrific response to the recent publication of those Black notebooks. - apart from its scholarly finesse, the essays are readable for all.
