Heidegger (The Routledge Philosophers)
Contents:
It is for man to be authentic and take account for his actions- this authenticity takes the place of the Christian salvation. In addition, Heidegger was part of a school of thought known as "phenomenology"- a focus on the things in themselves as opposed to abstract conceptions. Objects are to be understood through a framework based on their use, rather than in an individual context. So man too is to be understood in such a framework as outlined above.
The Turn Heidegger originally intended to publish a third division of "Being and Time", but abandoned the project. This shift in approach was known as "the turn".
Reward Yourself
Heidegger then adopted an alternative historical approach to the problem of being the third division intending to cover a historical approach. His argument was that early philosophers had sight of being itself, but it became obscured by language and metaphysics after Plato irreversibly i. His goal was to "unconceal" being. To do so he focused on how language and objects form the world and "being" as we know it.
He places much emphasis on the poetry of Holderlin German mystic poet and the power of language to introduce new ways of perceiving the world. He also talks about how temple structures created divisions that made people aware of their being in different ways- by creating a dividing line between earth and sky they made people consider their relationship to the gods and to the earth in a new way.
In the last chapter God and Technology , the author discusses how technology is increasingly becoming a single viewpoint which is shutting out other ways of viewing the world.
The Rhine with its ancient history, its natural beauty is nothing more in the eyes of the techno-state than a way to produce electricity and fish fingers ok I made the fish-fingers point up. If we focus on just one way of viewing the world, we lose so much. Hence his claim in his last interview "only a God can save us now" i. One of the great strengths is this book is that it doesn't degenerate into unreadable lines of "daseining the geworfenheit".
The German specialist terms are there, but only dasein instantiation of being is used repeatedly without an explainer everytime. It also doesn't degenerate into a Nazi-obsessed book. Yes, Heidegger was a member of the Nazi party. Yes he was not a particularly nice man to his Jewish mentor.
Yet Heidegger's work is much less personal than a philosopher like Nietzsche and to obsess about his Nazism misses the point. It is also relatively short, clocking in at around pages. In short, I honestly think this is the best work I have read on Heidegger and can't recommend it enough.
