Judaism, Philosophy, and Psychoanalysis in Heidegger's Ontology: Harrowing the Heath

By Federico dal Bo

In this book, Federico Dal Bo analyzes the question of Heidegger's anti-Semitism from a deconstructive point of view, appealing not only to philosophy but also to psychoanalysis, gender studies, and critical studies. Deconstruction famously discourages simplistic oppositions whilst encouraging a more careful analysis of cultural and philosophical complexities of a semantic field. In the present case, a deconstructive analysis of Heidegger's anti-Semitism rejects both a stern condemnation of his oeuvre and a simplistic acquittal from this infamous accusation. It rather suggests that the question of his anti-Semitism shall be examined from the broader perspective--from the end of metaphysics.
