Opis

In the academic year 1920-1921 at the University of Freiburg, Martin Heidegger gave a series of extraordinary lectures on the phenomenological significance of the religious thought of St. Paul and St. Augustine. The publication of these lectures in 1995 settled a long disputed question, the decisive role played by Christian theology in the development of Heidegger's philosophy. The lectures present a special challenge to readers of Heidegger and theology alike. Experimenting with language and drawing upon a wide range of now obscure authors, Heidegger is finding his way to "Being and Time "through the labyrinth of his Catholic past and his increasing fascination with Protestant theology. "A Companion to Heidegger's Phenomenology of Religious Life" is written by an international team of Heidegger specialists.
