The connection between Martin Heidegger's philosophy and his Nazi politics is examined. It is argued that the connection lies in Heidegger's concept of language, in which his definition of \"man\" was not racist, but neither was it egalitarian nor liberal.

Demonstrates how the postmodern debate can be elucidated through an analysis of Martin Heidegger's A dialogue of language. The Nazi philosopher's subjectivity is shared by both postmodernists and difference feminists. (SJK)

The rise of populism, Donald Trump's election and the result of the EU referendum in the UK have been widely interpreted as a rejection of the post-war liberal order – the manifestation of a desire to undermine the political system that people feel has let them down. Yet mainstream politicians and analysts have been slow to grasp the changing situation, instead relying on a rhetoric of ‘hard data’ and narrow economic arguments while failing to properly engage with the politics of identity. This book argues that the relationship between methodology and politics is now more important than ever – that politics, if it is anything, is about engaging with people’s interpretations and narratives of the world in which they find themselves. Politics in this new ‘post-truth’ era will require an appreciation of the fact we live in an uncertain world of endless diversity and potential for change. This thoughtful book addresses how we might think about and do politics in these strange new times.

Following superior orders or the crowd are commonly used excuses to avoid responsibility. Taking the case of border control in Hungary, this article explores how such inauthenticity can shape police professional identity and practice, both in the Sartrean and Heideggerian sense. It is interested in how police officers 1) have denied their freedom of choice in the face of their role expectations, and 2) have fallen prey to political discourse and anti-immigrant public sentiment. Interestingly, most participants in the study used the phrase \"I am just following orders\" only in relation to their mandatory deployment at the border but not regarding the ill-treatment of irregular migrants. The concept of excessive use of force no longer appeared to be applicable; physical abuse of migrants has become the norm and standard practice. The findings seem to suggest that officers have been overtaken and driven by public attitudes towards mass migration. The article argues that the real threat to authentic role play does not stem from a desire or temptation to conform. Rather, it manifests itself in dominant discourses that reinterpret the purpose of policing, thus underpinning the self-understanding of officers.
