It gives the article, in the English version, detailing how the self styled philosopher of "being" and authetincity was starkly anti-Semitic. What is interesting about the issue is not that yet another Nazi semi criminal is exposed, after a century from the fact, nearly a century. What is interesting is that this "Heidegger" has an argument. It goes as follows: to be able to reach 'being' [don't ask why anyone should reach a verb or be exposed to a verb etc.] one needs a specified grounding. Step 1 the grounding is given by the Blut und Boden, the land, the tradition, even more weirdly by a "language" (he calls language something like his idiolect of Germanic descent, Greek is a language, nobody knows why but Mongolian does not qualify, nor it can be a vehicle of thought since thought is reserved for the master race) Step 2: the jews have no such thing (well, at that time there was no Eretz Israel as nation-state in the tradition of political philosophy, there were 5 jewish languages, the religious jews always claimed that they had a land, it was given to them by GD etc. cfr Abraham in the "bible" and so forth, but skip, the idea that there is a truth escapes the buffoon in lederhosen since "truth" is revealed in the wood, "aletheia" and all of that) Step3 since the jews have no tradition in the relevant sense, they "do" techniques (of dentistry, banking, some even films and music, not to mention chemistry and physics) Step 4 the duder "knows" in his perverted brain that "technique" is not a technique, it is a Gestell " a systemic state of mind" Step 5 MH concludes glibly that "Technkik" killed the jews (Zyklon, machine guns, showers that boil people to death, etc.) Step 6 and, then it is clear that "jews self-annihilated Honest colleagues that do not suffer the bizarre condition of "transfert" (term adopted by Miller, French psychoanalyst who describe the interest and fascination with MH as sexual in nature, in the form in which S. Freud predicted) are invited to look at vol 97 of the "works" by this Heidegger, available as of today. The author of the, linked, article, is a philosopher in Rome at "Sapienza" (roughly "wisdom" the name of the university of Rome- bestest
