Kurzfassung:
Connects Heidegger's cultural antisemitism with the pagan and Christian tradition of stigmatizing and persecuting Jews due to the guilty conscience pagans and Christians share as a result of their acceptance of the incarnation of the divine and due to Jewish opposition to the progress of Western humanity's self-deification. Heidegger praised the attachment to the soil of the German "Volk" in contrast to Jewish rootlessness. Asks how the Jewish philosophers Levinas and Derrida continue to depend on Heidegger's thought. In contrast to Heidegger, they have visions of justice, with Levinas seeing Jewish rootlessness as a virtue. He and Derrida see Jewish values as essential correctives to the Western philosophical tradition that Heidegger followed to antisemitic conclusions.
