Martin Heidegger was one of the most important and controversial philosophers of the 20th Century who achieved massive acclaim for his intellect through his major work 'Being and Time' ( J P Sartre was a big fan), as well as notoriety for not only joining the Nazi party, but also appearing to be an enthusiastic supporter of its cause - and all despite an ongoing affair with his young Jewish student Hannah Arendt. “He who thinks great thoughts, often makes great errors” (Martin Heidegger).

British Theatre

BritishTheatre.com aims are very simple, created by Marcus Markou
to connect people actively involved in the theatre with each other. If along the way, people want to promote stuff, exchange ideas and start discussions then that's fine too. The site allows you to create your own profile page and even customise it - like on MySpace.com. In fact, you can view this as a kind of MySpace.com for the UK theatre community.

You can also upload photographs, publish a blog, upload video (either directly from your computer or from YouTube.com/Google Video) and create your own groups within this group.
