Poor Nietzsche. That STD rumor has plagued him for a good century. Of course, it's been largely debunked for nearly as long. It's not as if there aren't enough substantive complaints to be made about the guy! Really can't defend Heidegger. Never much appreciated him as a philosopher, let alone with respect to his virtue. The author of this piece (Irwin) has other books out beyond those listed. One of them ("The Undead & Philosophy"), as I understand it, has a chapter (13) contributed by a brilliant young philosopher. . .
