How Philosophy Gets Entangled with Ideology? Interwar “Destiny-Thinking” and the Heidegger Case as a Symptom

The project develops a rigorous framework for describing how philosophy becomes entangled with ideology without reducing it to propaganda or declaring it “pure” by fiat. It compares Heidegger with Jünger, Spengler, and Schmitt, identifying recurring operations (transposition, sacralization, mythic supplementation, institutional normalization) through which “depth” gains political traction, offering transferable criteria for reading the present.
