This book, one of the earliest by Christos Yannaras, was first
published in 1967 and has become a contemporary classic. Yannaras
begins by outlining Heidegger's analysis of the fate of western
metaphysics, which ends, he argues, in a nihilistic atheism.
Yannaras's response is largely to accept Heidegger's analysis, but
to argue that, although it applies to the western tradition of what
Heidegger calls "onto theology" (which regards God as a 'being',
even if the highest), it does not take account of the Orthodox
tradition of apophatic theology, of which Dionysius the Areopagite
is a pre-eminent example. A God 'beyond being' escapes the
criticism of Heidegger, and provides an alternative to Heidegger's
nihilistic conclusion.
