Jud,
Why do you think it was easier for Heidegger to be authentic in
totalitarianism (will all that Gestapo he got on his tracks) than it was for
him to be authentic in democracy?
Readers of Heidegger have to get this: his life had to prove the mere fact
suggested above: totalitarianisms, through fearing culture, they further a
dialogue with culture (albeit in a negative way); such dialogue is missing
in democracy.
Some may have asked: what was Holocaust produced by? Answer: the ongoing
spiritual genocide called modernity produced it. This is what happens when
one lets the masses decide in matters of culture and taste: general and
final extinction of all values, laden with hate against all that is free and
creative.
Physical (biological) holocausts are only the outer manifestation of the
spiritual holocaust, now happening.
