Heidegger’s reputation thrived on lectures despite a decade of non-publication

Evidence

Heidegger’s lectures and seminars soon gave him the reputation of being an outstanding philosopher. Nor did this reputation suffer from the fact that he did not publish anything for more than a decade after his Habilitation thesis. To many of those who attended his lecturesHorkheimer among themhe seemed to be living evidence of the fact that philosophy could mean something for life, something of importance to the individual. Bloch and Benjamin affected Adorno in a similar way. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 397 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)

Even Althusser’s writing bears the mark of Heidegger’s influence. The significance of Heidegger for French anti-humanism lay in what Habermas calls ‘the lack of ambiguity with which he places subject-centred reason on trial’, ‘delineating the modern dominance of the subject in terms of a history of metaphysics.’ — Alex Callinicos, Against Postmodernism, 297 (#expands, via linked claim)
