The problem of the will has long been viewed as central to
Heidegger's later thought. In the first book to focus on this
problem, Bret W. Davis clarifies key issues from the philosopher's
later period - particularly his critique of the culmination of the
history of metaphysics in the technological ""will to will"" and
the possibility of Gelassenheit or ""releasement"" from this
willful way of being in the world - but also shows that the
question of will is at the very heart of Heidegger's thinking, a
pivotal issue in his path from ""Being and Time"" (1926) to ""Time
and Being"" (1962). Moreover, the book demonstrates why popular
critical interpretations of Heidegger's relation to the will are
untenable, how his so-called ""turn"" is not a simple
""turnaround"" from voluntarism to passivism. Davis explains why
the later Heidegger's key notions of ""non-willing"" and
""Gelassenheit"" do not imply a mere abandonment of human action;
rather, they are signposts in a search for an other way of being, a
""higher activity"" beyond the horizon of the will. While
elucidating this search, his work also provides a critical look at
the ambiguities, tensions, and inconsistencies of Heidegger's
project, and does so in a way that allows us to follow the inner
logic of the philosopher's struggles. As meticulous as it is bold,
this comprehensive reinterpretation will change the way we think
about Heidegger's politics and about the thrust of his philosophy
as a whole.
