Does anyone hate Heidegger as much as I do? I mean, come on? What is up with the Nazi germans and their philosophy?

What is it you don't like about it? I'm not gonna try and convince you he's right, but there's some thick but elegant and pointed stuff in there. and I don't think he was a Nazi. I think he was a member of the National Socialist Party(not sure though without lookin' it up). Just curious cause I dig on his critiqes of science.
If you're talking about writing style, i agree. It makes Kant look "flowy" when read by comparison. Totally unecessarily thick.

His relations with nazi-pary are controverisally. I don't want to defend him I just mean to say that he was not just a nazi dot, end of story. E.g. he defended(motive unknown) jew proffesors while he was working at university by delivering a formal complaint to officials. He also broke with the party very early(and very dramatically). His relations are still not completly accounted for though I don't think he was very sympatic.

I'm thinking he was a nazi. He was banned from teachering in Germany after the war, and he banned Husserl from using the library during the Nazi period.

But that aside, he committed what I consider the ultimate sin for philosophers...mistaking obscurity for profoundity. If you have some great things to say, you don't need to express them in the most syntactically and semantically montrous way.
