Rafael,

Thanks for this. I must admit that Henk's post was a shock to me. Whatever
else Heidegger is guilty of, I was convinced that his nationalism was
cultural and linguistic, and didn't play in the racial, biological
nationalism of Rosenberg, et. al. GA29/30 - The Fundamental Concepts of
Metaphysics and the remarks in the first Hoelderlin course (GA39) seem to me
an explicit distancing from the attitude of the time.

GA69 seems interesting on this point - but on your exegesis at least - to be
a confirmation of the earlier (? - I don't know the date of GA69) view,
rather than its negation.

By the way, has anyone else read the recent publication of Foucault's
1975/76 College de France course, "Il faut defendre la societe"
(Gallimard/Seuil, 1997). This seems to me an argument about state racism
that works very much in a Heideggerian frame.

Best wishes

Stuart
