Abstract

With this succinct remark, a widely respected philosopher (and good friend of many years) John Caputo, crystallizes his reaction¹ to an attempt I had made² to discuss the tragic debacle of Heidegger's involvement with Nazism in terms of Heidegger's own conception of the negativity of truth: aletheia. Thereby hangs a tale.
