Reviews

This is a fine collection of essays written by leading figures in Heidegger scholarship that will be of interest to both the specialist and student alike. The issues at stake during the period examined are not only important for coming to understand Heidegger's thought, but also critical ones for evaluating Heidegger's impact as a thinker. Moreover, granted Heidegger's own political failures during this time, their adjudication is a difficult undertaking. These essays significantly contribute to that task. - Stephen H. Watson, author of Extensions: Essays on Interpretation, Rationality, and the Closure of Modernism Written by some of the most important continental philosophers of our time, this book offers the most comprehensive and philosophically rich interpretation of Heidegger in the 1930s that is available. - Walter A. Brogan, Villanova University
