Heil Heidegger

Heidegger, Martin. Do you know this German Philosopher's name?  You might know something about Plat,Kant , Marx , Freud, Nietzsche, so on. But Heidegger is not known so well among people.
 In 20th century, He is estimated as the most influential philosopher among Japanese scholars. In spite of high reputations in France or Japan, his name is not so famous even in Germany.

(Victor Farias,Heideger and Nazism)

 Though his book"Being and Time(Sein und Zeit)" is too difficult to be read without sleeping. his eccentric phrases must obsess readers. He  insists "As for being itself, we have all forgotten this basic problem. Existence itself is not obvious."

When the terror incident occurred in Japanese subway,1995 ,I realized the seriousness of a fact that Heidegger had existed  itself .  His idea contained essentially the terrorism against Western civilization.



P.S.
I found Jonah Goldberg had written about Heidegger three years ago.(an author of the book "Liberal Fascism")
