Opis

This book is a balanced and incisive analysis of Heidegger's ethical, cultural and political thought, arguing that his work remains relevant to modern debates.

Recenzje

'Presenting itself as 'an exegesis and friendly critique of Martin Heidegger's moral and political philosophy' … this book is more than that: it is also a thought-provoking statement of Sikka's own position, a Heidegger-inflected moral realism. Free of the partisanship that mars so much of the Heidegger literature, the book demonstrates an admirable command of both the primary and the secondary literature, as also of such thinkers as Herder, Kant, Fichte, Schelling, and Nietzsche.' Karsten Harries, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
