| Zusammenfassung: | The following article is a response to an ongoing debate over the significance of Martin Heidegger's political affiliation with National Socialism, an association still fiercely contested due the continuing influence of his work on fields as diverse as feminism, ecology and deconstruction. This article attempts to refocus the Heidegger controversy upon ideological grounds by suggesting that his brief identification with, and later movement away from, the reality of the Third Reich was intrinsic to his post‐1930 philosophy. This world view, firmly located within the ideals of ‘Conservative Revolutionary’ thinkers also spurning the practice of Nazism, can be most usefully understood when viewed from an emerging consensus within ‘fascist studies’. When seen from this conceptual framework, Heidegger's project reveals itself to be far more political than previously assumed, illustrating the reasons for its central place within post‐war and contemporary fascist metapolitics. |
