Christopher Fynsk here offers a sustained critical reading of texts
written by Martin Heidegger in the period 1927-1947. His guiding
concerns are Heidegger's notions of human finitude and difference,
which he first addresses through an analysis of the role played by
Mitsein in Being and Time. This analysis in turn affords a critical
perspective on Heidegger's own interpretive encounters with
Nietzsche and Hoelderlin. In a reading of Heidegger's Nietzsche,
Fynsk points to a far more ambivalent interpretation than the one
commonly attributed to Heidegger. After further elaboration of the
problematic of finitude in the context of Heidegger's writings of
the 1930s on politics and art, Fynsk looks closely at Heidegger's
commentary on Hoelderlin. He calls into question Heidegger's claims
for the gathering and founding character of poetry, and seeks to
raise some basic questions in respect to the nature of the text and
the act of interpretation. Presenting a critical confrontation with
Heidegger that places itself within what Fynsk refers to as a
contemporary "thought of difference," this book should be of
interest not only to all students of Heidegger but also to anyone
concerned with contemporary literary theory or modern Continental
philosophy.
