The People and the Leader: Studies on Heidegger's Seminar on the Essence and Concepts of Nature, History, and State [1933/1934]

Exemplified by two unpublished seminars of 1933/34 & 1934/35, edited by Heidegger, the paper examines the type & form of the relationship between Heidegger's thought & the ideology of National Socialism. In the process, it is established that in this entire issue, which has been very controversial in studies on Heidegger's thought, it is a matter of a distinctive structural commonality of his fundamental ontological capture of man & history & the central elements of the ideology of National Socialism, founded in the sense of the historicity of Being, & elaborated by Heidegger himself.
