Features: Since 1945, especially since the facts of the "Heidegger Case" became widely known in 1987, there has been a vast amount of discussion. These discussions not only aim to prove and confirm the connection between Heidegger and Nazism but also further make his philosophy irrevocably unbelievable. This book absolutely does not deny the depth and seriousness of the connection between Heidegger and Nazism. On the contrary, it reveals some new aspects of this connection. However, this book challenges the aforementioned trend: Through an in-depth analysis of Heidegger's philosophical works, especially Being and Time, the author argues that his philosophy at any stage shows no compromise with authoritarianism and is fully consistent with a deep belief in liberal democracy.
