Teaching and effect

Klaus Heinrich lectures enjoyed an almost legendary reputation because he spoke it with a today in academia hardly imaginable freedom not only on philosophy of religion, but about a variety of topics such as logic, psychoanalysis, existentialism to modern art and music. His lectures were therefore also attended by students from many different disciplines.

Henry Heidegger critique takes place at eye level, where it can prove that is signed off early to the terms in Heidegger his determined Participate in the NS. Quote from Heidegger's overcoming of metaphysics (III ): "The working animal is left to wobble his genitals, so it itself will tear and destroy in the void of nothing. " Henry's comment: "Against the use of the conjunction, so that ' in this sentence ( even if we refrain from any interpretation of the terms used in it ) depends on the charge of treason. " Namely, the betrayal of the intellectual witness in NS.

The ethnologist Karl -Heinz Kohl, who is a pupil of Heinrich writes in an article on his 85th birthday on the lectures by Heinrich: " On the basis of classical philosophical thought worlds, he showed that they just cover up with their system forced all the conflicts in the religions still open and than get in principle unsolvable for language. It was Freud's theory of the return of the repressed in repressing themselves, which helped him to realize that religion is to be considered as actually repressed philosophy. ( ... ) Future historians of science will show how much of it had already been prefigured in the times of his Berlin teaching., not only the now replaced by the banal anglicism " gender" concept of gender relations comes from him, even the philosophical deconstruction has already been taught in Dahlem, before he officially was invented. "
