Martin Heidegger (26 September 1889 – 26 May 1976) was a Nazi philosopher and postmodernist. He criticized the rationalism of Western philosophy and claimed that technology removes the intrinsic value of people and objects. He inspired anti-Marxist liberal French intellectuals during the 1960s and 1970s. More recently, fascists such as Aleksandr Dugin and Richard Spencer have promoted his works.[1]

Nazi beliefs

Heidegger joined the Nazi Party on 1 May 1933 and made a series of speeches in support of the Third Reich. He claimed that Jews were predisposed to criminality and that they somehow controlled the world. He also said that Allied war crimes during the Second World War were a thousand times worse than those of the Nazis. His works were banned in Germany until the 1980s.[1]
