In Martin Heidegger Saved My Life, Grant Farred combines autobiography with philosophical rumination to offer this unusual meditation on American racism. In the fall of 2013 while raking leaves outside his home, Farred experienced a racist encounter: a white woman stopped to ask him, âWould you like another job?â Farred responded, âOnly if you can match my Cornell faculty salary.â The moment, however, stuck with him. The black man had gravitated to, of all people, Martin Heidegger, specifically Heideggerâs pronouncement, âOnly when man speaks, does he thinkâand not the other way around,â in order to unpack this encounter.Â
In this essay, Farred grapples with why it is that Heideggerâwell known as a Naziâresonates so deeply with him during this encounter instead of other, more predictable figures such as Malcolm X, W. E. B. DuBois, or Frantz Fanon.
