Beskrivning
Heidegger has often been seen as having no moral philosophy and a political philosophy that can only support fascism. Sonia Sikka's book challenges this view, arguing instead that Heidegger should be considered a qualified moral realist, and that his insights on cultural identity and cross-cultural interaction are not invalidated by his support for Nazism. Sikka explores the ramifications of Heidegger's moral and political thought for topics including free will and responsibility, the status of humanity within the design of nature, the relation between the individual and culture, the rights of peoples to political self-determination, the idea of race and the problem of racism, historical relativism, the subjectivity of values, and the nature of justice. Her discussion highlights aspects of Heidegger's thought that are still relevant for modern debates, while also addressing its limitations as reflected in his political affiliations and sympathies.

Recensioner i media

'Sonia Sikka offers a holistic vision of Heidegger's entrée into the moral and political realms in a way that counters the piecemeal and even polemical caricatures that are frequently presented. She succeeds in confronting the difficult and controversial issues surrounding Heidegger's involvement in National Socialism and the recent revelations of anti-Semitic remarks in his Black Notebooks. Her book is an indispensable resource which will prove to be rewarding for students and scholars alike.' Frank Schalow, University of New Orleans
