Editorial Reviews

Review

"The 31 essays in this volume make an important, illuminating contribution to explaining the complexity of Heidegger's thought and the strongly idiomatic nature of his language and conceptual framework. Highly recommended."
Choice<!--end-->

“This volume of papers on Heidegger is unrivalled in its scope and quality … Its comprehensiveness makes it the most useful secondary volume on Heidegger now available.”
John Richardson, New York University


The 31 essays in this volume make an important, illuminating contribution to explaining the complexity of Heiddeger's thought... -- Choice Magazine, November 1, 2005



Product Description

A Companion to Heidegger is a complete guide to the work and thought of Martin Heidegger, one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century.

The volume opens by focusing on the most important elements of Heidegger’s intellectual biography, including his notorious involvement with National Socialism. The book then goes on to provide a systematic and comprehensive exploration of Heidegger’s work. The contributions proceed chronologically, starting with discussions of his magnum opus Being and Time, moving on to the period of his ‘Kehre’ or ‘turn’, and concluding with his neglected later work. A final section contains key critical responses to Heidegger’s philosophy, including consideration of his relation to pragmatism, religion, and ecology. Contributors include many of the leading interpreters of, and commentators on, the work of Heidegger.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the Best Collection of Essays on Heidegger Ever!, March 11, 2005
By A reader reader (Divided Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Perhaps the best collection of essays on Heidegger ever published. This book is endlessly rewarding: I've been reading it almost continually since I received it and have been deeply impressed by the quality of the 31 essays collected here (by the likes of Crowell, Dahlstrom, Sluga, Sheehan, Lafont, Carman, Mulhall, Blattner, Wrathall, Polt, Guignon, Dreyfus, Borgmann, Taylor, Rorty, and several emerging young scholars), all but 5 of which are new (and Taylor's, reprinted here, is revised). The essays break new ground rather than consolidate past insights, which makes for very exciting, provocative, and rewarding reading (550 pp. worth!). When this comes out in paperback (Blackwell is really profit maximizing here...), it is sure to become one of the most significant and widely read works in the field. I can't recommend it highly enough.

3.0 out of 5 stars Terribly Proofread, December 16, 2007
I agree that the Companion to Heidegger offers an outstanding collection of essays and scholars, but the extraordinary number of typographical errors in the hardbound edition is dismaying. Three and four errors per page throughout the Rorty essay, for example. For $154.95, one would expect better craftsmanship from Blackwell. Let's hope that the paperback edition--at $50.00, no less--is better proofread.
