Er beeindruckt durch die Materialfülle, mit der er belegt, dass die Grundlagen Martin Heideggers Denken in rassischem, völkischem und antisemitischem Gedankengut zu finden sind.

»Heidegger. Die Einführung des Nationalsozialismus in die Philosophie« gehört zu den meist umstrittenen Büchern der letzten Jahre. Die deutsche Ausgabe hat Emmanuel Faye durchgesehen und mit einem neuen Nachwort versehen. Darin geht er auf die seit Erscheinen des Buchs in Frankreich nicht endenden Vorwürfe ein.

Jahrhunderts, und er warfare ein Nazi. An dieser Spannung entzünden sich bis heute immer neue Diskussionen um das Werk des deutschen Denkers.« (DIE ZEIT)
