In Time and Death Carol White articulates a vision of Martin
Heidegger's work which grows out of a new understanding of what he
was trying to address in his discussion of death. Acknowledging
that the discussion of this issue in Heidegger's major work Being
and Time is often far from clear, White presents a new
interpretation of Heidegger which short-circuits many of the
traditional criticisms. White claims that we are all in a better
position to understand Heidegger's insights after fifty years
because they have now become a part of the conventional wisdom of
common opinion. His view shows up in accounts of knowledge in the
physical sciences, in the assumptions of the social sciences, in
art and film, even in popular culture in general, but does so in
ways ignorant of their origins. Now that these insights have
filtered down into the culture at large, we can make Heidegger
intelligible in a way that perhaps he himself could not. White
presents the best possible case for Heidegger, making him more
intelligible to those people with a long acquaintance with his
work, those with a long aversion to it and in particular to those
just starting to pursue an interest in it. White places the
problems with which Heidegger is dealing in the context of issues
in contemporary Anglo-American philosophy, in order to better
locate him for the more mainstream audience. The language and
approach of the book is able to accommodate the novice but also
offers much food for thought for the Heidegger scholar.
