A self-sustaining academic Ponzi scheme

all this nonsense is Martin Heidegger, a confirmed Nazi. I have banged on about this often enough already, but it's a point that needs to be made as often as possible. When you're keen, as so many of our modern critical thinkers are, to analyse the shortcomings of modern western society, it's perhaps wise not to base your analysis on the works of a thinker who saw enemies in world Jewry and British democracy, and the answer in National Socialism.

    I can see why you highlight the role of Heidegger. He was a big influence on the Frankfurt School. Certainly he is important but in the same way as Hegel was to Marx. I think the role Marcuse, Foucault or Derrida had is more direct and they are the names bandied about in the literature.
