Phenomenology of Intuition and Expression (Athlone Contemporary European Thinkers) [Paperback]

Martin Heidegger (Author), Tracy Colony (Author)

Book Description

Series: Athlone Contemporary European Thinkers | Publication Date: August 16, 2010

Phenomenology of Intuition and Expression is a crucial text for understanding the early development of Heidegger’s thought. This lecture course was presented in the summer semester of 1920 at the University of Freiburg. At the center of this course is Heidegger’s elaboration of the meaning and function of the phenomenological destruction. In no other work by Heidegger do we find as comprehensive a treatment of the theme of destruction as in this lecture course. Culminating in a destruction of contemporaneous philosophy in terms of its understanding of ‘life’ as a primal phenomenon, this lecture course can be seen to open the way towards a renewal of the meaning of philosophy as such.

This hugely important philosophical work is now available in English for the first time.

This review is from: Phenomenology of Intuition and Expression (Athlone Contemporary European Thinkers) (Paperback)

Only by following step by step starting with his earliest writings and so fixing the concrete and easily understandable context of how Heidegger came literally to his way of thinking can you even begin to understand what he was doing later on and why he did it THAT way!
