In article , GEVANS613 at aol.com writes
quoting Faye supposedly quoting Heidegger
>*identifying the hidden enemies within the nation - “in order to annihilate
>them totally:”

Philippe Arjakovsky points out that Faye is not quoting from an
unpublished lecture but from one that was published several years ago
and nothing remarkable was seen in it at the time. It only becomes so
when Faye quotes out of context.

Arjakovsky:

“There is the question of ‘the radical need to find the enemy’ and ‘to
initiate an attack with a view to their total annihilation’ [quoting
H]
… One sees that the passage cited on the enemy and combat is taken
in reality from a commentary on a fragment of Heraclitus, the
celebrated fragment DK53 which says that ‘polemos is the father of
everything that is’ and the thesis in general of the chapter is that
polemos, combat, is for the Greeks the essential home of all that
is, well beyond all human activity.”
