Summary/Abstract: The decision of Martin Heidegger's heirs to hasten the publication of the "Black Notebooks" (Schwarze Hefte) before the complete publication of the Gesamtausgahe, has provoked long series of misunderstandings about the real contents of the notebooks. The difficulties the German curator Peter Trawny faces to penetrate into the complex stratification of the heideggerian lexicon have facilitated the possibility to misinterpret several passages of the notebooks. The consequences of a superficial reading of those excerpts have created an ideological manipulation of Heidegger's thought: such operation was strengthened by the same "world journalism" that Heidegger always defined as the cause "an eradication of thought". The work of the author realized in collaboration with Prof. F-W. von Herrmann, has proved that, firstly, it is unjustified to impose any ideological reading of Heidegger's ideas and secondly that his condemnation of antisemītism is clearly obvious in his notes. Retrieving the sources of Martin Heidegger remains the only way ( Weg) available in order to avoid manipulations of his writings made by "philosophers of the surface".
