This concern led to his first and still most significant publication, Sein und Zeit (Being and Time), in 1927. He approached the question of being by examining the being of human “being” (or Dasein, to use Heidegger’s term), because we must always determine our own being or possibilities, and thus must understand being itself in some manner. In choosing our way, moreover, we also release other entities in their meaning.

Heidegger’s ‘Schwarze Hefte(n)’ have generated some recent controversy. Here, I should like to very briefly deal with the problem of ‘historicity’ and what this means for ‘public history’. The politics of Heidegger’s place in the humanist tradition continues to generate controversy.

Undoubtedly the Schwarze Hefte(n) have succeeded in clarifying aspects of Heidegger’s work, and in light of that we can ask: what is the relevance in terms of telling us anything new about Heidegger’s view of history/historicity; and what does it mean in terms of our understanding of the place of human beings in history? Heidegger’s Narrative or Our Narrative of HeideggerQuite some time ago, existentialism as a philosophy, and a more general set of ideas, had a far-reaching impact on what was then called ‘Western’ thought. Existentialism and existential philosophy was reflected in a great deal of artistic expression, and symbolized a kind of ‘general human condition’ immediately following WW2.1 Heidegger’s work was considered part of this greater movement and as a kind of culmination of what constituted a break with rational modernism.

Heidegger’s concern with Being ( Dasein) as an ontological position is the main innovation: re-orienting modern thought to its very origins in this ‘crisis of modernity’ experienced in the interwar period in the 1920s and 1930s. Dasein was to face up to Nietzsche’s nihilism, and philosophically it could, but Heidegger as a man, could not. And the Black Notebooks reaffirm this for us and delivers a message about contemporary historicity.Heidegger’s work, devoid of emotion, metaphor, descriptive language, and poetic turns of phrase, is characterized by a kind of clarity of thought that stands almost unparalleled by modern philosophers: clearly a work of a genius with profound insight, it is imbued with anti-Semitism. This should in no way surprise us, since there is so much that is also profoundly anti-Jewish in Europe and European thinking at the time of Heidegger’s writing as well as just prior to his completing his major works, not to mention today. A fundamental point here: Heidegger himself could simply not live up to his own version of the Dasein that existed in his mind, and that he developed and brought to the rest of the world. He sought a personal exemption from his own ontology that, I suspect, we are not prepared to give him. Lived HistoricityWhat we used to call ‘Heideggerian man’, is in a relational position to Being, and that relationality is the authenticity.

As such Heidegger’s lived experience itself, in supporting both early versions of Nazism and anti-Semitism, betrays his own philosophical position as a human being unable to face an open-ness to Being. It would be as if public officials charged with looking after the greater good consciously distorted facts in order to drive nations to war for the benefit of personal ambitions to power, if elected members of parliament sought to impose religious beliefs on other human beings treated as mere ‘objects of faith’, and it would be as if leaders of societies around the world selectively closed their societies for some humans while allowing others to move freely in them. Heidegger’s inability to live up to his own standards is precisely the act of ‘bad faith’ and ‘inauthenticity’ that the existentialist movement saw as a crucial part of the crisis of modernity. It is also a lived historicity for all of us.Our primary concern here is to think about the implications that the Black Notebooks have on Heidegger’s impact on history/historicity. Rather than set up contextual and apologist explanations about Heidegger and his work, this point appears just as crucial for historians experiencing history as it was at at the end of World War One for Heidegger.

‘Pure Philosophy/Philosopher’ FailedHistoricity is about showing the context, not to absolve, but to deliver the variety of human experience grounded in fact. Heidegger lived a context, and so do we, but without the open-ness, the Aletheia, the acceptance of others’ histories, and by privileging a prevailing one-ness that subsumes all others, we engage in dangerous politics, and this is what Heidegger eventually did. This is how he is guilty of anti-Semitism, and support for ethno-nationalism: a failure on his part to not live up to his own philosophical system. Thus it is with us, rejecting our own histories of struggle, our own historicities of experience, and our own publicly lived values, and instead guarantee the same human failure experienced by Heidegger. It is in this same way that children of refugees can reject new refugees, and the denial of historicities of the others leads to the failure of ‘pure’ philosophy in the contemporary world.Heidegger grounded his work in what he wanted to be the everyday experience of humanity. Are we to say that trendsetters, political leaders, cultural icons, boardroom/university executives, can be excused of having vile personal and political opinions because their achievements were once lauded? Of course not, since this is not the contemporary condition that we seek to live with.

Unfortunately ‘we’ do this all the time. Driver imprimante canon ip1880. ‘He was serving God so his transgressions with children were overlooked’ – ‘the company ignored the health warnings since they were making lots of money’ – ‘people need to be sacrificed for the cause’ – ‘it was a necessary war’ – ‘they are economic migrants’ and so on ad infinitum, we have heard these excuses before.Historicity is about authenticity, not merely about ‘true facts’, but rather about both humanity and humanism. When Heidegger rejects humanism, going further to implicate victims of murder in their own deaths, this is axiomatic of modernity: modern/contemporary states, with governments elected by voters, exist today on the premise of negating the histories and historicities of others by locking them in camps. The public outcry around Heidegger’s Notebooks and the anti-Semitism espoused within is certainly justified.

Aiming the criticism at Heidegger with no self-reflection demonstrates our own political situation as one that is desperate to legitimate our own failed moral positioning. When Heidegger claims that he is against humanism since it does not set the human(e) high enough, he delivers a clear message as to why he himself did not, and could not, live up to his own conceptualisation of the Dasein.

Public History TodayIf we are upset by the Schwarze Hefte(n), this is a good thing, but it tells us nothing new. They serve as a reminder of the fallibility of individuals, and our moral failures. In concrete terms, Heidegger has personally rejected the open-ness to Being, and the geschehen (historicizing – the action of the Dasein making its own history) of others. Further, the kind of creative repetition of this past creates more and greater future possibilities for the Dasein, and again, this is part of the authenticity. As historical thinkers, we need to admit our own failures, and engage with these multiple historicities to allow for the myriad of possibilities to develop for all.Literature.

.Part of thebook series (COPH, volume 4) AbstractThe period after World War Two saw the emergence both of the so-called later Heidegger and of the corresponding problem of the unity of his thought. Although his major work, Sein und Zeit,1927, (= SZ) had announced Heidegger’s intention of working out the meaning of being (Sein), his publications up through 1943, with the exception of the brief Vom Wesen der Wahrheit, presented only his preparatory analysis of human being (Dasein). However, Heidegger’s post-war publications emphasized being itself (the history of being, being as language, pre-Socratic notions of being, the withdrawal of being in the modern world) and indeed almost seemed to hypostasize being into an “other” with a life of its own. This state of affairs, combined with Heidegger’s announcement in 1953 that SZ would be left a torso, gave rise to such questions as whether his later thought was still phenomenological, how it might be continuous with his earlier writings, and how, if indeed at all, it was to be understood.
