Heidegger debate

Within the debate about Martin Heidegger , Faye took the position that Heidegger's books belong to the purely National Socialist writings through his publication Heidegger: The Introduction of National Socialism into Philosophy, which appeared in France in 2005 and in Germany in 2009 . The statement made there for the first time that the committee for legal philosophy founded by Hans Frank was involved in the preparation of the Nuremberg Laws has been repeated by Faye several times since then and has provoked decisive contradiction in the debate about Martin Heidegger and fake news : it was “fictitious ". In a newspaper article written with François Rastier and Sidonie Kellerer in 2015, Heidegger was compared by Faye with the Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höß .
