DESCRIPTION:
ARose said Covers a lot without saying much of anything.. I was eager to get my hands on this book, and so it's tough to admit, but I'm really disappointed. The author manages to survey huge amounts of information, without telling the reader much of anything. Especially if you're an academic interested in seriously studying the Third Reich and philosophy, this book doesn't deliver. For anyone who knows much of anything about Hitler or the Third Reich, the book is obnoxiously redundant and shares a number of pointless details. I understand she's trying to writ. Stephen Cowley said Propaganda trumps scholarship. This is a flawed book on an interesting subject. Sherratt covers the alleged interest of Hitler in philosophy; the activities of Martin Heidegger, Carl Schmitt and some lesser ideologues; and the activities of opposition activists and thinkers, on one of whom she has written at more length in Adorno's Positive Dialectic ("Propaganda trumps scholarship" according to Stephen Cowley.

Some may know all about it but it was new to me. I never knew much about Walter Benjamin. He mentored Heidegger and then was betrayed by him. Its very sad.Heidegger is considered to be a brilliant philosopher and was apparently without a conscience. He made a perfect Nazi philosopher.The book is very readable. I recommend it.
She reveals how some philosophers collaborated to give the Nazi regime respectability, while other Semitic thinkers were hunted down, murdered, or forced to flee, destroying Jewish-German culture.. Sherratt explores Hitler's relationship with philosophers, uncovering a web of cruelty, ambition, violence and betrayal
From Bookforum In Hitler's Philosopher's, Yvonne Sherratt—a researcher at Oxford University—unpacks the history of the intellectual toleration of Hitler's crimes. Yet to size up the true proportions of the threat we must ask: What is a Nazi idea? What was Hitler's philosophy? And what is the chilling evidence that Hitler's philosophy is now meeting with approval among the educators of a new generation? —Daniel Steinmetz-Jenkins . Sherratt is plainly concerned that the Western university harbors far too much sympathy with Nazi philosophers and political theorists. This claim will surprise many, especially parents paying $55,000 a year to universities that supposedly tolerate Nazi ideas
