Reviews

The substantive and rigorous readings offered by Brogan-conveyed in exemplary philosophical prose, lucid and precise-clarify many murky aspects and unveil some unexpected and truly radical positions in the thinking of the early Heidegger's Aristotle. Indeed, Brogan's interpretation is careful, rich, and provocative. - Continental Philosophy Review This study provides a masterful exegesis of central texts in which Heidegger presents his reading of Aristotle's thought ... Anyone seeking a thoughtful elaboration of Heidegger's positive reading of Aristotle's philosophy need look no further. - Ancient Philosophy ...Brogan provides an especially clear exposition to parts of Heidegger's Aristotle interpretation. Any serious student of Heidegger should give this book careful scrutiny for the way in which it gives fresh meaning to core issues in Heidegger's understanding of phusis and techne, the ontological difference, Heidegger's understanding of the Greeks generally, and especially how Aristotle's ontology wrestles with the problems inherited from his predecessors. - Review of Metaphysics This is, by far, the most extensive study of the 'dialogue' between Heidegger and Aristotle, and one that will be consulted as the authoritative study on the topic. It takes giant steps to challenge the usual reading of Aristotle, and does so in a persuasive way, which partisans of the more traditional view will ignore only at their peril. - Drew A. Hyland, author of Questioning Platonism: Continental Interpretations of Plato
