Heidegger a Arendtová

Magnus Maximus si posvítil na největšího německého filosofa 20. století, Martina Heideggera.

Byl to tak bezectný člověk, jak Magnus líčí? Zkusme se nad ním zamyslet z pohledu jeho celoživotní milenky, Hannah Arendtové. "The renowned thinkers-to-be first met, in the fall of 1924, at the University of Marburg: Heidegger the rising star of German philosophy, only a few years from succeeding to Edmund Husserl’s chair at the University of Freiburg (thirty-five, married, two children, philosophy having displaced his earlier studies for the priesthood); Arendt a first-year student (eighteen, Jewish, unmarried)." V letech 1925–8 měli spolu intimní poměr. "Arendt’s commitment to Heidegger, as it overrode her recognition of his character— he had no character, she once concluded— was so deep and constant that even love’s blindness hardly explains it. It persisted through her own two marriages, at least the second of which (to Heinrich Bluecher) involved great depth and feeling; it persisted through separation and silence and rebuff."
