The problematic relationship between Heidegger’s political views and his seminal status as a philosopher is a continuing point of contention in the historical assessment of his achievements. His contributions to Continental philosophy in works such as Sein und Zeit have been read, in some circles, through the critical lens of his affiliation with National Socialism in Nazi Germany during the Second World War. His writing during that time covered a broad range of subjects, including philosophy, politics, and aesthetics. His work on ontology directly influenced his contemporary philosophical thinkers, such as Jean-Paul Sartre. Though he is widely regarded within philosophical circles as one of the preeminent luminaries, along with Husserl, in the modern development of ontology, there are scholars and thinkers in certain intellectual circles who militate against the value of his thought in its entirety. To regard Heidegger’s work highly would be, in their eyes, to absolve him for his support of the politics of Nazism, even though he is being evaluated solely on the basis of his contributions to the study of philosophy, and not in any political context.
1. Select the sentence in the passage in which the author indicates the current attitude of critical reaction to Heidegger from the academic community in general.
A. I sentence
B. II sentence
C. III sentence
D. IV sentence
E. V sentence
A. I sentence
B. II sentence
C. III sentence
D. IV sentence
E. V sentence
2. Which conclusion is implied by the author in his description of the status of Heidegger’s legacy?
A Heidegger’s work should not be given serious recognition due to his political views.
B The Second World War fostered a climate of intellectual innovation in Europe.
C It is possible to critically evaluate Heidegger’s contributions to philosophy while not absolving him for his political views.
D Scholars should consider the entire body of work of a thinker, in every field to which he or she contributed, when assessing that thinker’s legacy in any one field.
E It is impossible to divorce the study of politics from the study of philosophy
