Abstract:
|
The paper will not raise the question how Voegelin does differ from Heidegger in terms of an overall reconstruction of the respective oeuvres nor open a new front in the Heidegger wars, but it will deal with Heidegger’s involvement with national-socialist politics and raises the question whether his philosophy is congenial to national-socialist ideas . The latter question, however, is burdened with the problem that the German intellectual landscape of post-world war I was marked by an ever changing flux of ideas, doctrines, world views, sentiments and moods. Therefore, a clear cut distinction between philosophy and Weltanschauung is difficult , even if we can distinguish between the academic language of university philosophers and the language of the proponents of the many Weltanschauungen, but in view of concepts and ideas this distinction is blurred. This explains why philosophers and other intellectuals in good standing could become intellectual national-socialists without subscribing to the Weltan-schauung of the Nazi-party – at least for a time. |

| Jürgen Gebhardt Heidegger Voegelin and the Human Predicament: A Case Study. I. Modern intellectual discourse is still under the spell of the Heideggerian project. Once it had broken away from its German moorings Heideggerian thought proliferated and was received into non-German cultures. Their intellectual elites appropriated it according to their own read- ing of Heideggerian texts. While they came to divergent and often contradictory conclusions about the philosophical and political significance of his work they still regard Heidegger’s symbolic |
