Although a difficult topic, this ambitious new work moves the entire debate on the Heidegger controversy forward.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\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. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book is a genuinely philosophical approach to the Heidegger controversy and a much-needed re-examination of his ideas and influences.\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mahon O'Brien\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350007927\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350007925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Mahon O'Brien","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48153596920063,"sku":"9781350007925","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_49738562-0b32-41b9-8284-14a809034430.jpg?v=1770784547","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/heidegger-history-and-the-holocaust-mahon-obrien-9781350007925","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
