For Martin Heidegger the "fall" of philosophy into metaphysics
begins with Plato. Thus, the relationship between the two
philosophers is crucial to an understanding of Heidegger--and,
perhaps, even to the whole plausibility of postmodern critiques of
metaphysics. It is also, as the essays in this volume attest,
highly complex, and possibly founded on a questionable
understanding of Plato.
As editors Catalin Partenie and Tom Rockmore remark, a simple way
to describe Heidegger's reading of Plato might be to say that what
began as an attempt to appropriate Plato (and through him a large
portion of Western philosophy) finally ended in an estrangement
from both Plato and Western philosophy. The authors of this volume
consider Heidegger's thought in relation to Plato before and after
the ""Kehre"" or turn. In doing so, they take up various central
issues in Heidegger's "Being and Time" (1927) and thereafter, and
the questions of hermeneutics, truth, and language. The result is a
subtle and multifaceted reinterpretation of Heidegger's position in
the tradition of philosophy, and of Plato's role in determining
that position.
