Heidegger’s Nazi commitment emerged from the objective structure of his philosophy

Evidence

In his book, Heidegger had mentioned, without comment, the inner truth and greatness of this movement'the Nazi movementas an encounter between technology, with its planetary destiny, and modern man’. This opened Habermas’s eyes to the fact that what was objectionable in Heidegger was not just the speech he gave in 1935 as rector, but his philosophy itself: a glorification of Nazism emerged from its objective structure. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 2299
