ARISTOTLE, HEGEL, HEIDEGGER: POLITICS AND ANTI-POLITICS

Abstract

Recent revival of dispute over the relation between Heidegger and national-socialismhas inspired author of this paper to ask this question in more fundamental manner. This goalis achieved through inquiry whether Heidegger’s philosophy includes conceptualisation of politicsand political philosophy at all. Named investigation has further led to analysis of Aristotle’sand Hegel’s concepts of politics, which yielded the result that Heidegger actually develops notionof anti-politics within prophetical discourse of anti-political philosophy.
