Reviews

This study by Wanda Torres Gregory will be essential reading for anyone interested in the issue that stands very much at the center of Heidegger's question of being: the question of language. Wanda Torres Gregory provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of the development of Heidegger's understanding of language from early to late, with particular emphasis on his interpretations of logos in Aristotle. The book concludes with a provocative critique of certain tendencies in Heidegger's views on language, while suggesting the possibility of a productive dialogue between Heidegger's views and recent developments in contemporary evolutionary biology and neuroscience. This book will be sure to generate much debate and excitement among Heidegger scholars. -- William McNeill, DePaul University
