Heidegger - His Life and His Philosophy

Alain Badiou and Barbara Cassin immerse themselves in the philosopher's correspondence with his wife Elfride to make sense of his dual life as one of the twentieth century's most important philosophers and a loyal Nazi.

They focus on Heidegger's tormented relationship with his wife, with Hannah Arendt, and with numerous other women, bringing an unusual level of intimacy to his personal and intellectual worlds.
