Although a difficult topic, this ambitious new work moves the entire debate on the Heidegger controversy forward. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Following \u003ci\u003eBeing and Time\u003c\/i\u003e Heidegger expands on his notion of authenticity and related notions such as historicity and discusses the possibility of an authentic \u003ci\u003eDasein\u003c\/i\u003e of a people along structurally consistent lines to his account of authenticity in \u003ci\u003eBeing and Time\u003c\/i\u003e. O'Brien argues that the same difficulties which appear to hamstring the early account of authenticity further affect the notion of an authentic \u003ci\u003eDasein\u003c\/i\u003e of a people; Heidegger's political myopia in the thirties can thus be attributed to an underlying failure to come to terms with some of the difficulties discussed in this study. O'Brien concedes that Heidegger's philosophy is influenced by its historical period and context but argues that, however inflammatory, Heidegger's rhetoric cannot be simply reduced to crude Nazi jingoism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is a genuinely philosophical approach to the Heidegger controversy and a much-needed re-examination of his ideas and influences.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45084158722199,"sku":"9781472510198","price":13202.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781472510198.webp?v=1767636522","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/heidegger-history-and-the-holocaust-9781472510198","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
