I confess my bewilderment fascination
never surpassed by that love of the Jewish thinker to the philosopher of Being
and Time . Regarding the universe of ideas, first. Regarding
the specific behavior under the circumstances, second. Regarding the
immediate scope of pure affection, third. It's true: Heidegger
represented in this second half of the 20 that are developing the agency
relationship Freud's love for his master's Arendt possibly the summit of
philosophical German. Husserl's disciple and successor - his son
phenomenological , called his wife to introduce him to the
philosopher Husserl Karl Jaspers - had been the phenomenology of Husserl
to its most extreme development and made a passion for thinking an
attractive and almost magical fascination. Living flame of passion
that were capable of spiritual awakening in their true lights
philosophical seminars, must have exercised a fascination irresistible. And
when Hannah Arendt succumbed to them, was only one awake, restless,
curious and ignorant girl of 18 years.
But to plunge into a whirlpool of pure intellectual thought, or pure
thought, had to be absolutely without any reference to the historical
real. For Heidegger, also rejected the
impurities incorporation, substantial and distinctive and its packaging
smuggled conceptual transcendental determination under distilled form,
abstract, pure, absolutely empty of specific content. The entire
concrete historical realization purified and reduced to pure concept. An
alchemy of abracadabra which relocated in the center of the concern the
SER, an absolute distillation inanimate, easily reducible to the Fuhrer,
as in effect ended the Heideggerian thought by postulating the required
obedience to the Führer as High epistemology. There was no waiting
to registration of the philosopher in the NSDAP, Hitler's party to check
their adherence to National Socialism. Had to place their
existential determinations under the bloody confrontation between
democracy and dictatorship that lived daily in the cities, towns and
villages in Germany, under bloody battles between Socialists, Communists
and Nazis. When the relationship blossoms between the university
just out of adolescence and Professor freshman to maturity and Nazism
shows its claws and its dark shadow pogrom. Rosa Luxemburg, the
Polish-Jewish soldier, was killed six years ago, in 1919. The shock
of the brewery had just staged in Munich. I was about to see the
light of Mein Kampf, the Bible of Nazism. Not coming to Marburg
poisonous effluvia of those events?

Whatever it is: under what the French
call a "coup de foudre" Hannah Arendt fell at the feet of the
master. The infatuated imagine, her black eyes blazing and
questioning of dedication, her parted lips. As the facts. Soon
after, on a hike through the woods near the university, was made woman
in the arms of a man well aware of that love was fate: "I still have
to go see it tonight and speak to the heart" - he writes the first
letter that there is knowledge, written on November 10, 1925. "Everything
should be plain and clear and pure among us. Only then will we be
worthy of meeting. The fact that you would become my student and I,
your teacher is just the beginning of what happened to us. ""
Whatever happened to them, "that is falling into each other's arms,
is a linguistic detour to express perfectly nominees, but carefully
avoids mentioning Heidegger, in a task of darkening that would become the
most distinguished teachers. So the key concept of his philosophy
was the Greek aletheia , unveiling. But
immediately put things in place in a far more brutal: "I can never
possess it, but you now belong to my life, and this will grow for
you." I said in rodeos philosophical depth that was apparent a
married man and was not willing to give up his wife, a midwife grumpy and
resentful of such a relationship, obviously.
The correspondence of the early days of "unveiling" a loving
portrait of Heidegger fascinated by the vital, passionate and vibrant
girl. Truly in love. If we have the testimony of what happened
to Hannah's own, is because the teacher felt that his letters were never
fall under the gaze of prying eyes reckless and destroyed and there were
no copies. So the elegiac string of lamentations, tears and other
corny love truly unbearable own those who have lost their ability to
object before the blindness of Cupid - "when the storm rages around
the cabin, I think in our" storm "or" no was the flower of
the rose, and the brook transparent, and heat of the sun on the fields,
nor the roar of the storm, or the silence of the mountains "or"
I can only mourn, mourn, "ETC. etc. etc. - Three-quarters
belong to the apocalyptic prophet of the Black Forest. Healthy and
good and nothing to reproach, that the lovers were exceptional beings,
perfectly emancipated owners do with their lives what they so desired. Even
accepting the humiliation of secret meetings and secret alcove.
But in the meantime the Germanic monster awakened from its slumber for millennia
and was dropped with a ferocity worthy of the Nibelungs about the German
Democratic opposition, becoming first a communist, socialist and
democratic Catholics in prison and meat hanging neck.And then the German
Jews in order billionaire crematorium. Jaspers, the silent witness
of this particular affair was surprised by the malignancy that would hide
the demonic genius of the master. And with the blatant and public
philosopher conversion to National claims it for its manifest commitment
to be as reprehensible as Hitler. "I believe that a man like
Hitler so unprepared able to govern Germany?" He asks indignantly. The
response of German existentialist has happened to the unforgettable story
of infamy: "Culture does not matter. Look at his wonderful hands.
"
A real flood of historical studies of all kinds and value has come to see
that this outrage was not confined to the weakness beautician by the
diminutive female monster's hands. It resulted in a servile
behavior, repressive and ominous against Jewish students and
teachers.Beginning with his teacher Husserl, whose name was crossed out
the dedication of Being and Time when the rise of the Third Reich.
None of this prevented the fascination continued thrusting his claws into
the flesh of lovemaking that had already become famous writing one of the
major works of the Century: The Origins of Totalitarianism . Over
long periods of silence, the initial passion to sprout again, now
restrained by the age of old lovers, sharing hours of amenity, drinking
tea and eating cookies baked Elfride, the wife of the triangle, tolerant
in his old age with a history that overflowed.
One does not understand that eternal passion of a woman to be clarified
by a politically and intellectually disreputable. Thirty-five years
after that harrowing first encounter came the German version of which can
be considered the most important philosophical work of Jewish thinkers ,
the human condition . In a note sent home on a visit to
Freiburg, he claims in his infinite subtlety not being able to dedicate
it to him, "because things were not clear between us."He then
wrote the following inscription, which failed to send: "The
dedication of this book has been left out. I dedicate it to you, the
strongest, who have remained faithful and unfaithful, but love. "
An unfathomable mystery that love between two people so diametrically
opposed in their political and existential. Indeed, it is not able
to overcome the embarrassment.
