Summary Dominique Pagani consistently calls him "the most Nazi of the great philosophers," in whose shadow the French school from Sartre to Derrida grew up1 . He quotes his 1933 statements on the Führer, the "duty of Eros" and the Panzer divisions. In a 1940 lecture, cut in 1961, the motorization of those divisions becomes a metaphysical act2 . He draws on the Black Notebooks and on What Is Called Thinking?3 . What he forgives him least, more than his ideas of the 1930s, is the trial of technology he kept up after the war: condemning the knife rather than the murderer. In his view, ecologism and deep ecology take up this theme4 . He also faults him for annexing Hölderlin to the German soil, for reading Nietzsche in the worst way, and for being an anti-Plato who traces the gulag back to Plato5 . He does grant him one sound idea: veiling and unveiling happen at the same time. Finally, he refuses the German jargon of the French Heideggerians.

Who is this? Martin Heidegger (26 September 1889 – 26 May 1976) was a German philosopher whose work was central to the development of phenomenology, hermeneutics, and existentialism. He has had significant impact within subsequent philosophy, social sciences and humanities, and theology. Heidegger's magnum opus, Being and Time (1927), is widely considered one of the most significant works of modern philosophy. […]

Series · 21 May 2021 Heidegger, or panzer-philosophy0:24 It is not only that he was a Nazi: he is the most Nazi of the great philosophers, an object of cult worship in the French school. 7:09 In 1961 he removed the conclusion of the 1940 lecture course, where the motorization of the Wehrmacht is a metaphysical act. 12:13 He still criticizes technology but sublimates the Panzerdivisionen into a metaphysical act. 17:58 His relation to metaphysics is ambivalent; he sees in Descartes a degeneration and, since Plato, the abandonment of the concern for being. 24:06 What is unforgivable is the post-war period: no guilt at all, anti-communism maintained, philosopher darling of NATO. Cycle 7 · 5 May 2020 #7 Harnessed to confinitude32:50 He is the most Nazi of the great philosophers: he resigns the rectorship of Freiburg in 1934 because he is too extremist. 50:26 He designates the enemy as the Asiatic, that is, the Judeo-Bolshevik, and speaks of "Judaization in the broad sense". 58:19 He turns Heraclitus into a power of the Germanic Dasein; his notions designate sordid political realities. 1:05:33 He wanted to be Hitler's philosophical adviser; for him, the salvation of Europe depends on the struggle against the Asiatic. 1:45:51 Blut und Boden lies hidden behind being and Grund; his texts themselves must be read. Talks · 24 Sept 2020 Arendt and Heidegger: the destruction of thought2:41 His Destruction aims, at Davos facing Cassirer, to destroy spirit, logos, reason. 25:24 Black Notebooks Quasi-genocidal antisemitism; as early as 1934 the end of philosophy must give way to the metapolitics of the historical people.28:02 What Is Called Thinking? Thought is here defined as remembrance tied to the fate of the German army: a military-political definition.39:36 Being and Time Replaces philosophical categories with existentials, the first of which is affective attunement.1:01:17 Letter on Humanism Replaces Marxian alienation with the absence of ground and homeland.Series · 5 Mar 2022 Panzer-philosophy against the cogito: neo-fascism or the ideology of nature (Heidegger, Descartes)3:35 In a 1951 text, he traces the atomic bomb back to the Cartesian cogito and indicts technology as an attack on being. 5:23 He reportedly said in a seminar that the creation of the Panzerdivisionen was the greatest event of Western metaphysics. 7:26 His text on Van Gogh's shoes belongs to a "Pétainism of the earth." 25:05 Man comes to spoil being: he is at the origin of the "accursed triangle" of dominant thought. 41:49 For him, the Galileo-Cartesian rupture murdered being to turn it into the physicists' nature. Series · 31 Mar 2021 “Red-browns”, “decolonial”: should we use the dominant language?1:13:57 He spoke of a duty of Eros toward the Führer. His anti-technicist and anti-humanist thought is what is most disturbing in dominant ideology. 1:30:07 Black Notebooks His notebooks from the 1930s are terrifying. He never wavered in his denunciation of technology leading to the abyss.Cycle 15 · 8 Oct 2026 Nature vs. freedom?1:15:52 Black Notebooks He indicts technique, except for the Panzerdivisionen, and speaks of a "duty of Eros" toward the Führer.Talks · 23 May 2026 Neo-fascism and the ideology of desire: is Michel Clouscard still relevant?1:10:32 A Nazi according to the 1933 notebooks; a true philosopher, he persists after the war in the process of technology.

Cycle 11 · 19 Oct 2022 “Speech is the best and the worst of things” (Aesop)42:56 He quotes his statements on the Führer, the Panzerdivisionen, and the Asiatic enemy; he is the idol of the French philosophical school of Chapoutot's generation. Talks · 19 Mar 2022 Hölderlin, poetry and politics3:00 His Hölderlin is that of the German land, which the Nazis recommended to soldiers. 1:00:04 The Heideggerians want to decouple Hölderlin from Hegel. 1:28:05 Their appropriation of Hölderlin; he makes the Panzerdivision an invention of Western metaphysics. Cycle 9.2 · 17 Mar 2021 #9.17 The geopolitical metaphor: Planck, Descartes, Clouscard34:54 French Heideggerians give themselves a sham depth with German. 1:36:50 Asked about a filiation between his irrationality and decolonial thinkers, he says a mediation is missing.

Cycle 6 · 3 Dec 2019 #6.2 The logic of the subject in the face of the reconstitution of Nazism20:42 Highly educated, he speaks of a duty of Eros toward the Führer; such thinkers lend Nazism a cover of respectability. 1:27:08 His duty of Eros toward the Führer would refer back to the dominant male of Totem and Taboo. Series · 10 Sept 2019 M. Clouscard's reply to C. Morilhat (part 2)26:54 Off the Beaten Track His paths lead to the horror revealed by the Black Notebooks; his forgetting of being since Plato served the thesis that the gulag was already present in Marx and Hegel.Cycle 5.2 · 26 Mar 2019 #5.5 Nature or landscape?56:05 Pagani quotes Wesen without wishing to imitate it. 1:00:31 Hölderlin's "German" is not racial, whatever Heidegger may say. 1:29:31 He aptly shows that veiling and unveiling happen at the same time.

Series · 8 Dec 2015 Michel Clouscard, the paths of praxis (1/2)11:50 Clouscard often uses the word "ontic" in reference to him. 26:19 He is an accomplice of Lévi-Strauss, proposes a fascistic restoration, and, as a reactionary philosopher, is the anti-Plato. 41:58 Like Plato, but in the opposite direction, he brings about the ontological crisis of the West. Cycle 1 · 14 Sept 2015 #1.2 Between crisis and war: philosophising?30:17 The postwar French school stands in his shadow; "the most Nazi of philosophers", who glorifies the Panzerdivisionen and the Führer. 1:14:52 Off the Beaten Track Ironic allusion to the Holzwege, paths that lead "always to Auschwitz".Series · 27 Sept 2014 #5 Libertarian liberalism, libidinal consumption and music…11:26 "The most Nazi of philosophers"; the whole French school from Sartre to Derrida stands in his shadow; quotations from his statements of 1933.
