Quotes About Heidegger

Al-e-Ahmad explored the ideas of Marx; he translated Camus, and brought an intense focus to his reading of Heidegger (to whom he had been introduced at the University of Tehran by an influential specialist in German philosophy called Ahmad Fardid, who actually coined the term 'Westoxification'). These very modern critics of modernity's spiritual damage turned out to be stops on Al-e-Ahmad's journey to a conception of Islam itself as a revolutionary ideology.
