Editing Martin Heidegger (section)

===Post-war===
In late 1946, as France engaged in ''[[épuration légale]]'' in its [[occupation of Germany|occupation zone]], the French military authorities determined that Heidegger should be blocked from teaching or participating in any university activities because of his association with the Nazi Party.{{efn|Provisional ruling October 5, 1946; final ruling December 28, 1946; Hugo Ott, Martin Heidegger: A Political Life, (Harper Collins, 1993, page 348).}} Nevertheless, he presented the talk "What are Poets for?" in memory of [[Rilke]]. He also published "On Humanism" in 1947 to clarify his differences with [[Jean-Paul Sartre]] and French [[existentialism]]. The [[denazification]] procedures against Heidegger continued until March 1949 when he was finally pronounced a ''[[Mitläufer]]'' (the second lowest of five categories of "incrimination" by association with the Nazi regime). No punitive measures against him were proposed.{{sfn|Safranski|1998}} This opened the way for his readmission to teaching at Freiburg University in the winter semester of 1950–51.{{sfn|Safranski|1998|page=373}} He was granted emeritus status and then taught regularly from 1951 until 1958, and by invitation until 1967.

In 1966, he gave an interview to ''[[Der Spiegel]]'' attempting to justify his support of the Nazi Party. Per their agreement, it was not published until five days after his death in 1976, under the title "[[Only a God Can Save Us]]" after a reference to Hölderlin that Heidegger makes during the interview.{{sfn|Inwood|2019|loc=chapter 1}}

Heidegger's publications during this time were mostly reworked versions of his lectures. In his last days, he also arranged for a complete edition of his works to be compiled and published. Its first volume appeared in 1975. As of 2019,{{Update inline|date=September 2024}} the edition is almost complete at over 100 volumes.{{sfn|Inwood|2019|loc=chapter 1}}
