Deeply disappointing to turn to a new chapter on an old philosopher and discover the antisemitic tirades. I'm not especially squeamish, but in many of these cases the philosopher will very clearly declare "This antisemitism is very important to my project and you do not understand me unless you buy into my antisemitism." OK then, guess I'll move on.
@cosmiccitizen surprisingly common for philosophers to make the move of "my grand idea is deeply bound up with my pet peeve"
Deleuze (as so often!) did it right with treating books as toolboxes
Specifically thinking of Heidegger and Hamann, but examples abound.
