Martin Heidegger and European Nihilism

This book provides a unique and insightful look into the relationship between the philosophy and politics of one of history's most influential thinkers, Martin Heidegger.

Written by a former student and intimate friend of Heidegger, this book offers unparalleled access to the inner workings of Heidegger's mind and provides a comprehensive understanding of why he decided to support Nazism.

With incisive discussions of Heidegger and Carl Schmitt, as well as two never-before-published letters from Heidegger himself, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in the allure of nihilism and the darker side of intellectual history.
