Aharon Meytahl on Arendt and Heidegger 


The relations and the affair between Hanna Arendt and Martin Heidegger sound
as a pulp fiction story. At the time the affair began, he was magnetic
lecturer, university professor about to publish, according to many, the most
important philosophy book in the 20th century. He was 35 years old, married
with children, a gentile who studied under Husserel. She was 18 years old
promising student of philosophy, a Jew. The affair lasted four years. Then,
he joined the Nazi party, severed his relations with all his Jewish
acquaintances and terminated the affair with Arendt. She left Germany, came
to New York and became one of the most prominent intellectuals of 'our
crowd' in the city. After the war, they met again.

[snip]

 Now, the once all powerful Heidegger, and his wife which was even more
ardent Nazi than he, both apply for help from the Jewess, the lover. And
she, with her huge ego, agrees to help. Could there be a more satisfactory
revenge? Roazen's article is titled 'Soft-Hearted Hannah.' He may be
mistaken.

Aharon Meytahl


What is the point of this anecdote? Sounds like a synopsis for some
tasteless tabloidal soap. And who the shag is Aharon Meytahl ? [genuine
ignorance]
