1. Though he is widely regarded within philosophical circles as one of the preeminent luminaries, along with Husserl, in the modem development of ontology, certain scholars and thinkers militate against the value of his thought in its entirety.
This sentence provides a summary as per the passage, it also exposes the attitudes toward Heideggar.

2. Option A is incorrect as it is mentioned in the passage that his work on Ontology directly influenced his contemporary workers. It is not discussed that some academics view him positively for his political and philosophical work.
B is discussed and C is also discussed

3. The same is explained towards the end of the passage at the last sentence.

Q.2
Answer A, why it is wrong?

The big picture of the passage is that there are a lot of scholars who aren't accepting him, and there are people who are accepting him ( Though he is widely regarded within philosophical circles as one of the preeminent luminaries, along with Husserl, in the modem development of ontology, certain scholars and thinkers militate against the value of his thought in its entirety.) but there isn't a statement that mentions clearly that all scholars hate him in both sides.

"Though he is widely regarded within philosophical circles as one of the preeminent luminaries" & "certain scholars and thinkers militate against the value of his thought in its entirety."

We can infer that some might accept him on both sides since we have academics who reject him in both sides.

Any clarification ?

QUESTION 1


Though he is widely regarded within philosophical circles as one of the preeminent luminaries, along with Husserl, in the modern development of ontology, certain scholars and thinkers militate against the value of his thought in its entirety. The sentence you’re looking for is one that sums up how the intellectual community, as a whole, views Heidegger. This means the sentence should encompass all parties, both those that are receptive to him and those that view him negatively. The second sentence, “His contributions to Continental philosophy in works such as Sein und Zeit have been read, in some circles, through the critical lens of his affiliation with National Socialism in Nazi Germany during the Second World War,” may be tempting, but this is telling you the way in which his work has been interpreted, not the reactions or attitudes of the academic community. It also doesn’t mention any “competing” feelings toward his work. The last sentence provides justification for why certain scholars view him as they do, but it does not account for the other schools of thought. The next-to-last sentence, “Though he is widely regarded within philosophical circles as one of the preeminent luminaries, along with Husserl, in the modern development of ontology, certain scholars and thinkers militate against the value of his thought in its entirety,” sums up the complete range of reaction to Heidegger across the academic community.

QUESTION 2

Choice (A) is incorrect. The author nowhere explicitly states or implies that anyone has a positive reaction to Heidegger’s political views. She only intimates that scholars working in the study of philosophy have been influenced by his work in that field. Choice (B) is correct because the author states that Heidegger’s work, even in philosophy, has been viewed through this “critical lens.” Answer choice (C) is also correct. The author cites philosophers, such as Sartre, who have reacted positively to Heidegger’s philosophy and asserts that those who view him negatively do so because they cannot abide by absolving him of guilt for his support of the Nazis.

QUESTION 3

This question asks you to engage the text at a deep level and to infer what the author is suggesting. It is important to pay close attention to the author’s tone. The passage’s Main Idea is the evaluation of a thinker’s body of work by academic scholars in different fields. The author points out both Heidegger’s tremendous accomplishments in the field of philosophy and his less-than-admirable involvement with the Nazi party. Choice (B) is dealt with nowhere in the passage. Choice (E) goes beyond the scope of the passage. Choice (A) is incorrect, because the author emphasizes Heidegger’s influence on philosophers like Sartre and makes certain to point out that it is in “their eyes” that Heidegger is so viewed, not the author’s own. Choice (D) is incorrect because it is the opposite of what the author implies. Choice (C) is the correct answer because, in the last sentence of the passage, the author stresses that it is only Heidegger’s contributions to philosophy that are being considered, not his political views. The author seems to be suggesting that the two can be judged apart from one another.
