In a new approach to a vexing problem in modern philosophy, William H. F. Altman shows that Heidegger's decision to join the Nazis in 1933 can only be understood in the context of his complicated relationship with the Great War. By combining philosophy and biography with political and intellectual history, Altman shows that Heidegger's 1927 masterpiece is a Funeral Oration that contributed to transforming the War to end war into the First World War. | Martin Heidegger and the First World War by William H.
