MARTIN HEIDEGGER

In a windy and stormy night in Seville-Uncommon huh?-, a couple of beers and a superb Chou-fleur á la Nantua , watching a documentary about Heidegger was all needed to have a good hour before going to sleep. Unfortunately instead of showing a succint resemblance of his life and philosophy , the docu. turned out to be a very short-sighted and partial biographical sketch about the past of M.H. as a nazi . It also tried to show the paradox that his tutor Husserl and the person that rehabilitated his philosophy - Hanna Arendt- were both jews.
The things liked most was to see his refuge on the hills of the Black Forest and that he had an idea of Europe, as Ortega supposed : a common ground and ideal for most of the intelectuals from this continent.
Now a BBC audiobook of Maigret -Et la vieille dame?-
