Interview with François Rastier: “Heidegger and his militant posterity”

Heretics is a political podcast mixing interviews and debates. This summer we will publish here the shows of the first season.

What do Russian supremacist Alexander Dugin, the Invisible Committee, New Age, racialist Kemi Seba, Iranian leader Ahmadinejab, Liberation Theology, thinker Bruno Latour, Qanon conspiracy theorists and Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy have in common? They all place themselves, explicitly or not, in the wake of the German philosopher Martin Heidegger. His thinking, which passed through M. Foucault or Jacques Derrida, gave rise to the movement of deconstruction (Destruktion) of modernity, opening the doors to irrational discourses that today take all the forms of wokeism in the fields of feminism, indigenism, ecology or racialism.

The linguist François Rastier comes to present to us the vast and complex panorama of this surge which undermines the achievements of Enlightenment, already outlined in his book "Heidegger, Anti-Semitic Messiah" and which he calls to counter on his site " Reconstruction ».

Marc Bloch and antisemitism: a contemporary instrumentalization

That a great medieval historian, a member of the Resistance and a victim of the Nazis as well as some French citizens, executed in 1945, should be honored in this way is certainly cause for celebration. More questionable, however, are a number of instances of appropriation and misappropriation that are not only the work of politicians, but also originate within the historical profession itself. This is nothing new.

Science, the Besieged Citadel

A review by Claudio Rubiliani.
