Re: Heidegger.

My introduction to Heidegger was throught the amusingly mischievous book 'German Existentialism', consisting of Heidegger's edicts as Rector of a University(Heidelburg?) under the Nazi regime. It was assembled by an English philosopher after WWII.

This was red meat to a young analytical Engish-language philosophy undergrad. ;^)

We got our Philosophy prof drunk one night and he started blurting out unpostable things abour Heiddeger.
