Heidegger and Politics shows the relevance of Heidegger's thought for contemporary evaluations of politics by responding to widespread confusion about the political implications of his work. The book will appeal to researchers and graduate students in political theory, political philosophy, moral philosophy, and intellectual history.
In this fresh interpretation of Heidegger, Alexander S. Duff explains Heidegger's perplexing and highly varied political influence. Heidegger and Politics argues that Heidegger's political import is forecast by fundamental ambiguities about the status of politics in his thought. Duff explores how, in Being and Time as well as earlier and later works, Heidegger analyzes 'everyday' human existence as both irretrievably banal but also supplying our only tenuous path to the deepest questions about human life. Heidegger thus points to two irreconcilable attitudes toward politics: either a total and purifying revolution must usher in an authentic communal existence, or else we must await a future deliverance from the present dispensation of Being. Neither attitude is conducive to moderate politics, and so Heidegger's influence tends towards extremism of one form or another, modified only by explicit departures from his thought.

Alexander S. Duff was educated in the humanities and history at Carleton University, Ottawa, and received his PhD from the Department of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana. He has held fellowships from the Tocqueville Program for Inquiry into Religion and American Public Life at the University of Notre Dame and from the Program for the Study of the Western Heritage at Boston College, and taught at Skidmore College, New York and College of the Holy Cross, Massachusetts. He writes widely in the history of political philosophy, and his publications on classical, modern, and contemporary political philosophy have appeared in both scholarly and popular publications.

1. What's the matter with ethics? Ethics and the problem of theory; 2. Surpassing ethics: the formal indication of existence; 3. The ambiguous everyday: on the emergence of theory from practice; 4. The dictatorship of the they and the clearing of the everyday; 5. Disclosive occlusion and the promise of nihilism; 6. Heideggerian politics: the past is not dead, it's not even past.
