Heidegger's Way of Thought: Critical and Interpretive Signposts

Description

Eminent Heidegger scholar, Theodore Kisiel's work has found world-wide critical acclaim, his particular strength being to set Heidegger's thinking in the context of his life, time and the history of ideas. This volume brings together Kisiel's most important critical and interpretative essays. They can be regarded as a succession of "signposts" enabling the reader to follow Heidegger in his often difficult path of thinking. At the same time, this volume can be regarded as a companion to the author's key work, "The Genesis of Heidegger's "Being and Time""(1993).

Alfred Denker, Managing Director of the Centre Philosophique Les Trois Hiboux. Theodore Kisiel is Professor of Philosophy at Northern Illinois University. In addition to The Genesis of Heidegger's 'Being and Time' he has translated Heidegger's History of the Concept of Time (1993) and co-edited Reading Heidegger from the Start (1994). Marion Heinz, Professor of Philosophy at Siegen University.
