Krieck

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Ernst Krieck briefly and almost always in the same way: he ranks him among the "minor philosophers" of the Third Reich1, alongside Alfred Baeumler2. He presents him as an academic and a civil servant of the regime, a "second-rank figure" placed by Hitler in the universities3. In 2016, in a session devoted to Hegel, he makes him Baeumler's teacher and attributes an idea to him: the unfathomable would be what gives the German worldview its depth4. He also cites him in connection with Lukács, who studied these Nazi theorists. Krieck serves him mainly as a reference point when he speaks of the regime's official philosophy, including in sessions on Foucault, Proust, Heidegger or Clouscard. In 2019, he considers that one ought to read him in order to guard against this kind of thought5. No passage comments closely on any of his works. From one session to the next, what he says about him does not change.
