Abstract

The article examines the “Spiegel-Gespräch”, the renowned interview given by Heidegger in 1966, addressing the political ambiguities that marked his complicity with Nazism. Despite his undeniable contribution to metaphysics, his intellectual hybris led him to a failure in the realm of political philosophy – perhaps also because his thought, blind to the humanistic significance of Erziehung (education) and Bildung (formation), reveals the Heidegger’s estrangement from the demands of a possible humanism.
