An address by Archbishop Bruno Forte last month has been appearing in parts. In today's, he mentions Heidegger for the second time.

In reaction to the failed claims of "strong" reason, then, there emerge the contours of a time of shipwreck and collapse; this crisis of meaning is the special characteristic of postmodern restlessness. In this "night of the world" (Martin Heidegger), what seems to triumph is indifference, a loss of the taste for seeking ultimate reasons for human living and dying. And thus, too, we reach the nadir of the parable of modern ideologies, nihilism: Nihilism is not simply a matter of giving up values for which it is worth living. It is a much more subtle process: It deprives human beings of the taste for committing themselves to a higher cause, of those powerful motivations which the ideologies still seemed to offer.

The notable feature here is that I can't Heidegger every using that phrase anywhere, although there are dozens of texts attributing it to Heidegger; none of them citing a specific text. It appears to have been used originally in one of Hegel's Jena lectures. The misattribution appears to be another instance of a chain of authors copying each other's works, without any ever checking the original source. The earliest offender, in this particular case, appears to be Leo Strauss.  ¶ 7:47 PM
