Heidegger y el mito de la conspiración mundial de los judíos
¿Fue Heidegger antisemita? ¿Hasta qué punto se identificó con el nacionalsocialismo? Estas preguntas recuperan actualidad en el contexto de la reciente publicación de los Cuadernos negros de Martin Heidegger, que contienen sus apuntes personales y filosóficos escritos entre 1930 y 1970. Peter Trawny, el editor de estos cuadernos inéditos hasta 2014, ofrece por primera vez un análisis del proyecto filosófico de Heidegger a la luz de estas nuevas fuentes.
Los primeros cuadernos, escritos durante los años de la guerra, ofrecen evidencia textual de que el antisemitismo de Heidegger forma parte de su pensamiento filosófico y político. Trawny subraya en ellos la recurrencia de expresiones antisemitas y la creencia en la existencia de una conspiración por parte de un “judaísmo mundial", que amenaza con destruir la identidad de otras naciones y culturas.
Trawny traza el desarrollo de una “gran narrativa" de la “historia del ser" en las obras de Heidegger con la cultura griega y la germánica como protagonistas, y el “judaísmo mundial" como antagonista. En este sentido, el predicado «antisemita» aplicado a Heidegger resulta especialmente comprometido, pues en la mayoría de los casos se usa de una forma que implica una complicidad ideológica con el holocausto. Trawny se propone evaluar el pensamiento de Heiddegger en relación con el antisemitismo, pero intentando separarlo de la estigmatización en la que ha recaído después del holocausto.
Según Trawny, los Cuadernos negros son el legado filosófico de Martin Heidegger y su publicación cambiará radicalmente la forma en que los lectores se acercarán a su pensamiento.

When it comes to Trawny and other Heideggerians, his milkshake does bring all the boys to the yard. All Heideggerian sophists squirm in the face of Trawny, relapsing into altogether much too crude, coarse and commonplace thinking. Trawny's work is seriously challenging and easily misunderstood. Much to my surprise, he offers much more arguments against the presence of any viable conception of antisemitism in Heidegger than for. To be clear: I am deeply convinced that he has what you may call a 'hidden agenda', although I am of course of the opinion that this agenda is apparent.
The itinerary of the book is largely unclear and seems associative. It structurally expounds a 'contamination' in Heidegger's thought - a concept that he admits is Heideggerian (I was thinking more Derridean, but whatever). As Trawny explicitly states, one cannot really think through the consequences of this contamination. Ultimately, one must rather attempt the thought of the problem itself and determine how to understand it. Thinking is mutilated by Heidegger. Thinking must bear its proper pain, having been lead astray by Heidegger. Such consistent appeals are entirely consonant with Heidegger's appeal to the thought of Being. The idea that Heidegger reminds us of the darkest pages of our history and we could be thankful for it - is this not the gist of Trawny's essay? Is it not now that we can finally carry the weight of being a German on our shoulders, or that we can start 'trusting the trail of tears' (Celan [so yeah, not the 'Trail of Tears' - sorry])? Unlike the often very complex rhetorical questions posed in Trawny's book, which allow him to avoid drawing any conclusions or condemnations, mine one should simply answer with 'yes'.
It strikes me that at the very least profound irony befalls this whole discussion. Surely, one could ponder the question of Heidegger's nazism long and hard, but perhaps that's altogether not as urgent as Trawny makes it out to be. Trawny's work is not coincidentally 'contaminated'; its train of thought forcefully moves within the Heideggerian framework, further mythologizing it. Let me guess: only in the vicinity of the ultimate obscurity of this problem can a secret become pertinent for us all, and will we be at the height of our thinking? What about all the other worries mankind has?
As part Heidegger enthousiast, I can imagine this to be a pretty profound and touching narrative for most. Peter Trawny is a brave and erudite man and I regret that he's become such a controversial figure (among people he should be getting respect from). But as so much more than part Heidegger enthousiast, I can only giggle at the reception this is getting and shake my head at the often confusing state of philosophical discourse.

3.8?? An sich ein schlüssiges Werk, welches sehr interessante Parallelen und Bezugspunkte in der Argumentation herstellt. Aber Trawny scheut sich vollends, Heidegger Antisemitismus zuzuschreiben. Manchmal finden sich auch komische Formulierungen im Text...Aber an sich ein sehr guter Einstieg in das Thema.

Good, as far as it goes.
