Of course, Arendt having a history of having an affair with Heidegger shouldn’t make her a contrarian by association. Even if Heidegger was a closet Nazi, it hasn’t really swayed her overall philosophy even one bit. Still, you can’t still deny the relationship between Heidegger and Nazism after some of the contents of his Black Notebooks from 1931 to 1941 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Notebooks https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Notebooks) were revealed, which contained explicit anti-semitic comments. The relationship between Hedeigger’s philosophy and Nazism actually seems like a genuine controversy even among scholars and philsophers, and shouldn’t be taken lightly.
