Works in Progress:
Monograph, Nietzsche's Heidegger
Reversing the apostrophic possession of Heidegger’s Nietzsche to orient the reader away from a strictly chronological accounting of influence and toward Heidegger’s amorous reading of Nietzsche, Nietzsche’s Heidegger coalesces around the double valence of “affair” as clandestine erotic liaison and public scandal. The affair begins with a conceptualization of time that draws the two philosophers into a proximity so intimately inspired it can only be characterized as possession. Yet, to an erotics of possession belongs dispossession, the profoundly destabilizing experience Heidegger manages by abjecting Nietzsche through the “confrontation” concurrent with his entanglement in – a and subsequent effort to distance himself from – National Socialism. Through the storied effort to overcome a metaphysics thought to culminate in Nietzsche’s philosophy, Heidegger strategically situates his thinking after the “turn,” establishing a post-war alibi simultaneously philosophical and personal. The organizing motif of the affair therefore makes possible a revelation of Nietzsche’s role as the (thinker of) transition, pivotal to the development of Heidegger’s philosophy, to his political catastrophe, and to his attempts to navigate life in their wake. Any effort to envision the future of Heidegger studies must account for the Nietzsche affair.
