[lit-ideas] Re: Heil Heidegger?

Robert Paul wrote:

"For, in the case of Heidegger, his acceptance and support of National
Socialism is not irrelevant to his work, for his work is an expression
of that very sort of Fascism, indeed, so much so that without his
acceptance and support of the political and social policies of such
Fascism, his work would not be what it is."

The problem, as I see it, is that the above is not philosophical.  It
may very well be true, but I can't find a way of articulating it as a
philosophical point.  I find no contradiction in defending Heidegger's
philosophical arguments and believing he was a bastard.
