(New Haven: Yale University Press, 2023), 488 pp.

Abstract

Richard Wolin’s Heidegger in Ruins: Between Philosophy and Ideology unveils the intricate ties between Martin Heidegger’s philosophical work and his political affiliations. By dismantling the long-held separation between Heidegger’s abstract ideas and his entanglement with National Socialism, Wolin reveals unsettling truths that challenge our understanding of the philosopher, offering a fresh and critical perspective on his enduring legacy.
