`It is, I think, a treasure trove of exciting discoveries and brilliant insights. It is an impressive and elegant challenge to current philosophical interpretations of Heidegger's early work.' International Journal of Philosophical Studies `a must read for anyone grappling with this difficult thinker.' Daniel O. Dahlstrom, Mind `This book is deceptively economical in its writing, with McManus managing to sustain his focus on his argument whilst engaging along the way in several detours involving wider philosophical debates . . . he presents a clear and convincing case for rethinking the early Heidegger not simply as a source for phenomenology but generally as a source of current philosophical thought.' Todd Mei, The Philosophical Quarterly `Denis McManus proposes an approach to Heidegger's early thought that centers on Heidegger's understanding of how the phenomenon of truth is tied to practice . . . This is a bold, exciting, and challenging approach . . . Heidegger and the Measure of Truth is a powerful and challenging book, one with which all future discussion of Being and Time will have to reckon. It is, in my assessment, one of the best and most important books written on Heidegger over the past decade, and it establishes McManus as a leading interpreter of Heidegger's early thought.' William Blattner, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
