Book Reviews of Men in Dark Times
Book Review: Dark Times and Heidegger
Summary: 1 Stars
In the Arendt-Heidegger correspondence letter 89 credits Heidegger with being the whole inspiration of her "The Human Condition".
The really troubling question is how she justified excluding "Martin" from this book, "Men in Dark Times", when there are two chapters on Jaspers.
My opinion - my interpretation - is that in this book, the opening of the prize speech is in fact veiled justification of Heidegger.
Read in conjunction with the Arendt account of Heidegger's supposed 10-month Nazi error, I think that this is the inescapable reading of what she says in the opening passages of 4th Chapter of this book. That speech was delivered in the very year that "The Human Condition" was published and 10 years before this little volume.
Not long after this book appeared, the UNESCO tract "Trends in Philosophy" would have no sign of Jaspers - credited in these essays by Arendt as the philosopher to be read by all mankind - but many references to Heidegger.
Two or three essays should have been in this book: an essay on Husserl after expulsion from the university; an essay on Gerhardt Husserl after his expulsion from the University; an essay on Ernst Cassirer and his response to the NS-Zeit (a strong parallel to Gerhardt Husserl.)
My gut feeling is never to recommend these essays to general readers ( I would not recommend them to a suburban public library acquisitions department - if missing, I would not recommend their replacement) - but they should be read for anyone conversant with Jaspers.
Somewhere I recall jaspers reporting how Heidegger mocked his interest in Lessing, but this book opens with an essay on Lessing - and I would like to think that Lessing would also have felt sickened by Letter 89.
