In section 56 of Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) we read of how the truth of beyng is conditioned by the abandonment by being and how this uprootedness causes our insensibility to the ambiguity in what is held to be essential, for instance “everything that is meant by a people: the communal, the racial, the inferior and lower, the national, the permanent.” Heidegger also covers “the disappearance of knowledge of what is a condition, what is conditioned, and what is unconditional,” and the resultant “worldview” thinking saturated by “values” and “ideas.” We then discuss the implications of these passages for accusations of Heidegger’s Nazism, identitarian pigeonholing in general, and the unfortunate (for itself) takeover of the arts by liberal activism.
