ROCHA DE LA TORRE, Alfredo. Heidegger: The introduction of National Socialism into philosophy? A countercurrent reflection. Franciscanum [online]. 2014, vol.56, n.162, pp.19-49. ISSN 0120-1468.

The «political question» in Heidegger has been mainly addressed in two ways: a) the historical and documentary study of his life and work; b) the conceptual confrontation of National Socialism ideology with the thought of the philosopher. On this basis it has even been suggested that the Heideggerian reflection is an introduction of Nazism into philosophy. This article discusses such claim and argues that the reflection on the present (Heidegger's criticism of the predominance of calculating, unilateral and comprehensive thinking, and his emphasis on reflective thinking), allows us to delineate the true «political dimension» of the Heideggerian philosophy.

Keywords : Calculating thinking; reflective thinking; National Socialism; truth; rescue.
