Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) was perhaps the greatest philosopher of
the 20th century and we are challenged to comprehend how he could have
been a life-long Nazi. [McCumber 1999:1] From his inception in 1927
with his magnum opus: “Being and Time” he clearly established himself
as a foremost and important philosopher, but later betrayed his
philosophical contributions and finished up until his death in 1976 as
a contemptible apologist, first for Nazism and later for himself.
That his work on “Being and Time”, for all its achievements, is no
innocent piece of philosophy. Although some have argued that it may
not have directly encouraged Nazism, it clearly leaves Heidegger open
to such an accusation. For in “Being and Time”, intelligibility is
subject to the world: I can understand nothing that is not within the
horizons of my world. Escape from this world is achievable not through
critical reason but only in a mute and mystified “resolve”. [McCumber
1999:3]
Yet for much of the Western world, the difficulty of Heidegger's
thought was for many years held to be almost insuperable in the medium
of a foreign language, especially English. That this opinion is no
longer so widely held can be seen both from the rapidly increasing
number of translations of Heidegger's works and from the interest of a
growing readership. There are signs moreover, that as a preeminent
thinker of our age, Heidegger may be of interest to many who do not
claim to have a wide knowledge of traditional metaphysics or whose
concern with him may not be primarily philosophical at all.
Such readers have a certain advantage in bringing an open mind to a
new problem, but they also have special difficulties in grappling with
Heidegger. [King 2001:xviii]
However as Gadamer (1976) suggests when the layman wonders what
philosophy really is, he has the idea that philosophising means
defining, and taking responsibility for the need to define, the
concepts in which all men think as homo[ios] sapien[tal]. Since as a
rule we do not see this happen, we have helped ourselves by means of a
doctrine of implicit definition.
In reality, however, such a “doctrine” is a mere verbalism as is the
neologism starting with the German word: Dasein--which is not another
name for ‘consciousness’, ’subject’, or ‘human being’. Heidegger
introduces a vocabulary that challenges the reader [Stambaugh
2010:xviii]. To say nothing of the Hebrew word: Dashen {(#4 - Daleth;
#300 - Shin; #50 - Nun = #354 / #390 as H1878) specifically to anoint;
figuratively to satisfy; denominatively (from H1880 ) to remove (fat)
ashes (of sacrifices):—accept, anoint, take away the (receive) ashes
(from), make (wax) fat}. For to call a definition implicit obviously
means one finally comes to notice, on the basis of a number of
sentences that someone has spoken. And he or she was thinking
something unambiguous by means of using a concept. In this respect,
philosophers are no different from other men, for other men too are in
the habit of thinking definite things and avoiding contradictions. The
lay opinion appealed to here is in fact dominated by the doctrine that
universals or general ideas are mere names without any corresponding
reality as nominalistic tradition of recent centuries, in considering
linguistic reproduction as a kind of application of signs. It is
obvious that artificial signs need an organisation and arrangement
that excludes any ambiguity. Thus the demand arises that the
illusionary problems of “metaphysics” must be unmasked by establishing
the univocal use of language. [Gadamer 1971:125-126]
In his scheme to refresh philosophy, Heidegger, like Hegel
(1770-1831), draws upon the earthy roots of his language and dialect.
So a promising way of achieving this refreshment would be the exercise
of translating “Being and Time” into the Anglo-Saxon language. Or
perhaps into the Welsh or Gaelic idioms. Or for that matter, into
Hebrew with its association to the earliest Semitic tongue and most
probable origin of language. [King 2001:xv]
How then did Heidegger's publication in 1927 of “Being and Time”, and
in 1929 with his provocative book on Kant's “Critique of Pure Reason”
in his treatise on “Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics” or his 1939
lectures: “On the Essence of Language: The Metaphysics of Language and
Essencing of the Word” in relation to the German Lutheran theologian
and philosopher Johann Herder's 1772 treatise: “On the Origin of
Language”, lead to the German Reich policy on the genocidal
annihilation and nullification of Judaism as the absence of being?
Herder (1744-1803) was the progenitor of the volkgeist (“Spirit of the
people”) conception and had advanced a cultural superiority by the
injunction: “Spew out the ugly slime of the Seine. Speak German, O You
German.” Yet whilst he supported the French Revolution (1789–1799),
his anti-authoritarianism, anti-militarism, and borderless
humanitarianism values would generally have caused him to find the
subsequent acts of political domination, war and empire which make up
the vast bulk of these “great” deeds and events of history as not just
morally unedifying, but morally repugnant. [Stanford Encyclopaedia of
Philosophy 2007]
Heidegger was struggling to distance his thought from the prevailing
neo-Kantian tendency in German philosophical circles of the time, and
this resulted in a highly original interpretation of Kant (1724-1804).
From the standpoint of the development of Heidegger’s own endeavour,
his book: “Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics” is of pivotal
importance because it takes up and extends a number of themes
suggested in “Being and Time”, in particular the problem of how
Heidegger proposed to enact his “destruction” of the metaphysical
tradition and of what role his reading of Kant would play in that
project. It’s this problematic about Kant’s Categories as it relates
to Being in traditional metaphysics and the phenomenon of time which
accounts for what some have called the “violence” of Heidegger’s
interpretation as even he unequivocally acknowledged in the preface to
his 1950 edition. [Taft 1997:xii, xx]
Heidegger asks, “What is the human being?” If I speak, so therefore I
am. It is through and in the being, human language comes into being
and vice versa; in the coming into being of language the human being
“is” the human being. [Gregory 2004:87] How then was any one of Jewish
descent considered as less than human after the 7 November 1938
assassination of Ernst vom Rath, the third Secretary of the German
Embassy in Paris by his reputed 17yo homosexual companion, a German
born Polish Jew named Herschel Grynszpan. As the impetus for
Kristallnacht within days following and the beginning of the Final
Solution as Holocaust--Where was God? I do not desire to participate
in the attitude of silence as others have promulgated to this very
time, and neither do I consider subterfuge in the use of language as
the only applicable and acceptable answer to such questions: “Vous
êtes sur un site francophone. Yez la politesse et la correction de
vous exprimer en français.”
This then relates to a little anecdote about my activities as timely
actions over the siege in Toulouse, France on 21-23 March 2012 in
relation to the earlier massacre of three paratroopers (ethnic and
muslim), school children and a Jewish Rabbi by an Islamic extremist.
Whilst enjoying a walk, I made some appraisals of the most probable
cause of the event before it was disclosed as public news. In that the
7 murders which occurred as terrorist activity were in part being
attributed to abuses as starvation of Palestinian children due to an
inability by the menfolk to pursue their livelihoods because of a
confiscation of their tools of trade at border crossings in Israel.
And as a consequence of my comments, as actions of goodwill and regard
to European friends, I found my words as ideas (unity of being,
dignity and discrimination by the State versus the animalistic
behaviour of the perpetrators) being uttered from the mouths of the
French President Nicolas Sarkozy and a Jewish Rabbi in Israel which
were subsequently reported on the news.
In querying the political motive of UNICEF workers in the street that
same day, I remarked that not even Kofi Annan would be able to take
the “King” of Syria (President Bashar al-Assad) out of my hands--and
indeed that is so today as Russia, China and America are all indebted
to my intellectual property associated to governance.
There was in response to my calculated statements as provocations made
towards the Republic of France (on alt.France) in their time of great
need, an attempt by some person (René Groumal) without any remorse or
apology, to falsely and slanderously characterise my public Internet
statements as being fascist or neo-nazi. I am categorically neither.
The source of my ideology as autonomic doctrines of unity, co-
operation, freedom and democracy are not derived from Adolf Hitler.
But that my prophet is Moses and therefore I am not anti-Semitic.
