Safranksi, Between Good and Evil
Re Carl Braig, Freiburg Theologian at the Freiburg Theological Seminary (where H began his studies in 1909); "an illustration of the fact that one could be an antimodernist without becoming an obscurantist". Always referred to by Heidegger as "Teacher"; through whose work Heidegger familiarized himself with basic concepts of ontological tradition.
"Braig criticized modern civilization for its lack of respect for the inexhaustible secret of a reality which we ourselves are a part and which surrounds us. If man arrogantly places himself at its center, he is ultimately left only with a pragmatic relationship to truth: Truth, in that case, is what serves us and what brings us practical success" 17
