Book Synopsis
Written by a former student of Heidegger, this book examines the relationship between the philosophy and the politics of a celebrated teacher and the allure that Nazism held out for scholars committed to revolutionary nihilism.

Trade Review
A flurry of books has appeared on Heidegger's seduction by Nazism... [b]ut Lowith's work has a very special claim, and its publication in English is an event of major significance... [T]he present volume is unique as an indispensable, insightful, philosophical account of why Heidegger decided for National Socialism. As a devoted student and intimate friend of Heidegger in Freiburg... Lowith understands Heidegger minutely and sympathetically, and his interpretations of Heidegger's works are wide-ranging and unerring. Choice
