This important new book offers the first full-length interpretation
of the thought of Martin Heidegger with respect to irony. In a
radical reading of Heidegger's major works (from "Being and Time"
through the "Rector's Address" and the "Letter on Humanism" to "The
Origin of the Work of Art" and the Spiegel interview), Andrew Haas
does not claim that Heidegger is simply being ironic. Rather he
argues that Heidegger's writings make such an interpretation
possible - perhaps even necessary.Heidegger begins "Being and Time"
with a quote from Plato, a thinker famous for his insistence upon
Socratic irony. "The Irony of Heidegger" takes seriously the
apparently curious decision to introduce the threat of irony even
as philosophy begins in earnest to raise the question of the
meaning of being. Through a detailed and thorough reading of
Heidegger's major texts and the fundamental questions they raise,
Haas reveals that one of the most important philosophers of the
20th century can be read with as much irony as earnestness. "The
Irony of Heidegger" attempts to show that the essence of this irony
lies in uncertainty, and that the entire project of
onto-heno-chronophenomenology, therefore needs to be called into
question.
