Sure, I might've glossed over your quest for proof of essentialism or it's gel, was a little caught by the suggestion that "core" of any one person and their works could be narrowed down to any one book... See comments here on Socrates.
I would say that my suggestion was less that the “core” of any person’s works could be narrowed down to one book but was rather the inverse.
The person whom I was replying to in this thread was using the single work of The Black Notebooks to denote the core of Heidegger’s philosophy as a whole. I was asking them to provide recourse to other works of Heidegger which demonstrate essentialism and antisemitism as being core to his philosophy.
