“Autoannientamento degli ebrei” e tecnica moderna. Per una rilettura dei Quaderni Neri heideggeriani

“The Self-Annihilation of the Jews” and Modern Technology: A Reinterpretation of Heidegger’s Black Notebooks What is the meaning of the passages in the Black Notebooks (Notes I–V) in which Martin Heidegger seems to speak of the “self-annihilation of the Jews”? Should such statements be regarded as a form of antisemi￾tism, and if so, how are they related to his philosophy as a whole? This article offers a theoretical reinterpretation of Heidegger’s Reflec￾tions and Notes from the period 1930-1948, arguing that these contro￾versial remarks are intrinsically linked to his conception of modernity and technology. Within this framework, they appear as part of a broader, internally coherent philosophical system – one that nonetheless reveals certain lexical and conceptual tensions. By situating these statements within Heidegger’s critique of modern rationality and the ego cogito, the paper reaffirms the theoretical signi￾ficance of the Black Notebooks for any philosophical inquiry into the es￾sence of technology.
