Heidegger and ethics is a contentious conjunction of terms. Martin Heidegger himself rejected the notion of ethics, while his endorsement of Nazism is widely seen as unethical. This major new study examines the complex and controversial issues involved in bringing them together.

“Schadenfreude is a fascinating emotion, much neglected but obviously of great importance for practical ethics and moral psychology. Portmann’s book cuts across the intersection of current emotion theory, psychology, and ethics, and invites philosophical interaction with some classic literature on some of the nastier emotions. The author is obviously well read and has a rich store of literary and philosophical examples.” —Robert C. Solomon, author of The Joy of Philosophy
