Given Heidegger's eventual alliance with Nazism - which many scholars feel had its roots in his thought from its inception - it is remarkable that many of his students and followers were Jews. "Heidegger's Jewish Followers" addresses very important and relatively unexplored questions, namely, in what way did Heidegger's thought affect his most prominent Jewish students, and how did they respond to this influence? By focusing on four students who certainly came to be important philosophical figures in their own right - Hannah Arendt, Leo Strauss, Hans Jonas, and Emmanuel Levinas - these essays by a wide range of scholars weave together philosophical analysis, religious tradition, and historical background.
