Schwartz, Adi. "Between Place and No-Place." HAARETZ November 24, 2008.

Established after World War II, Les Temps Modernes has published works by the world's leading authors and philosophers, including Simone de Beauvoir, Raymond Aron, Samuel Beckett, Albert Camus and Alberto Moravia. Now, at only 40, Zagury-Orly has had the honor of editing a special edition of the journal devoted to German philosopher Martin Heidegger (1889-1976), and thus of being the only Israeli member of the prestigious journal's editorial team. "Two young philosophers, Joseph Cohen and Rafael Zagury-Orly," Lanzmann wrote in the introduction, "proposed to the editorial board that Les Temps Modernes devote an entire issue to Heidegger. We agreed, due to the high quality of the proposal as well as to its clear theoretical standing. And for this we thank Cohen and Zagury-Orly." The special issue, which appeared last month, features 20 essays, including two by the editors themselves. Zagury-Orly and Cohen decided to publish an article by Heidegger himself as well, "Remarques sur art-sculpture-espace" ("Remarks on Art-Sculpture-Space"), which had never before appeared in French, as well as articles by philosophers Karl Lowith and Alphonse de Waelhens that were published in Les Temps Modernes in the late 1940s. Lowith and de Waelhens knew Heidegger personally and began to address the complexities of his thinking and work immediately after the war. The issue also includes new essays by France's leading contemporary phenomenologists: Didier Franck, Jean-Francois Mattei and Rudolf Bernet. In his essay "Insomniaque a Ephese," noted German philosopher Peter Sloterdijk tries to analyze Heidegger through a perspective other than that of Nazism. Historian Jeffrey Andrew Barash, meanwhile, argues that a reading of texts Heidegger wrote between 1933 and 1945, and especially during his year as rector of the University of Freiburg, shows that he completely embraced racial theory. So why Heidegger? And why now? Get the answer here: http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1037234.html.
