Zizek Article
An interesting article by Slavoj Zizek here. The stuff about Heidegger piqued my interest, due to my recent reading. I've read a couple of extremely short summaries of his life, but I still don't really understand his relationship to Nazism--he briefly collaborated, but then fell out of favor with the regime. Was he really sympathetic, or was he just trying to protect himself? Did he change his mind about Hitler? I should read a full length biography at some point...
UPDATE: After reading a bit more, it seems that Heidegger was a true believer, at least for a time. While he fell out of favor, he was definitely on board with the Nazis for a while. Not good.
