HITLER’S PHILOSOPHERS
Book ID/图书代码: 12100013B66587
English Summary/英文概要: Hitler had a dream to rule the world, not only with the gun but also with his mind. He saw himself as a ’philosopher-leader’, and astonishingly gained the support of many intellectuals of his time. In this compelling book, Yvonne Sherratt explores Hitler’s relationship with philosophers and uncovers cruelty, ambition, violence and betrayal where least expected - at the heart of Germany’s ivory tower. Sherratt investigates international archives, discovering even in the 1920s evidence of Hitler’s vulgarization of noble thinkers of the past, including Kant, Nietzsche and Darwin. She reveals how philosophers of the 1930s eagerly collaborated to lend the Nazi regime a cloak of respectability: Martin Heidegger, Carl Schmitt and a host of others. And while these eminent men sanctioned slaughter, Semitic thinkers like Walter Benjamin and opponents like Kurt Huber were hunted down or murdered. Many others, such as Theodor Adorno and Hannah Arendt, were forced to flee as refugees. The book portrays their fates, dispersed across the world as the historic edifice of Jewish-German culture was destroyed. Sherratt not only confronts a past, she also tracks down chilling evidence of continuing Nazi sympathy in Western Universities today.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 希特勒有个做梦都想控制这个世界,不仅仅是武力征服,更希望用他的思想。他视自己为哲学领袖,令人惊讶的是他还得到了那个时代学多智者的支持。在这本杰出的书中,伊冯•塞拉顿探索了希特勒与哲人的关系,揭开了彼之残忍、野心、暴力和背叛——而且都发生在德国的象牙塔之中。塞拉顿研究了国际上的档案,发现即使在上世纪二十年代的证据都显示了希特勒对古代贵族思想者之俗见,包括康德、尼采和达尔文。她(作者)揭示了上世纪三十年代的哲人急切的向纳粹寻求合作,向纳粹政权提供权威地位的掩饰,有马丁•海德格尔、卡尔•施密特及其他的许多人。当这些杰出的人认可屠杀之时,闪米特思想家如沃特•本杰明以及反对者如科特•布伯却在被搜捕暗杀。更多的,如西奥多拉•阿多诺和汉娜•阿伦特却只能如难民一般流亡他乡。本书描绘了他们的命运,描述了分散在世界各地的犹太裔德国文化大厦之倾塌。塞拉顿不仅直面过去,同时也发现了令人胆战的证据——如今西方大学内对纳粹主义的同情之心还在继续。(LNL)
Awards/获奖情况:塞拉顿对人的关注也是本书的优势。她呈现的这些逃离德国的哲人的故事非常丰富而动人,如沃特•本杰明、西奥多拉•阿多诺和汉娜•阿伦特,而在不经意之间却有着幽默。——约翰格雷 《独立报》
堕落与勾结的百态图——约翰•克伦威尔《金融时报》
所写理智清晰,所写令人担忧——阿拉斯代尔•帕尔默《星期天邮报》

该如何去诠释不仅仅具有思考之能,甚至说他的人生就是在思考的公民为何会投入恶魔的怀抱?伊冯•塞拉顿的新书写下了希特勒时代的哲学家,这个难题……总的来说,这是个特立独行,让人不舒服的故事,即使说书中描述非常之精彩绝伦。——西蒙•哈法 《立场》
