This book presents Heidegger as a thinker of revolution.
Understanding revolution as an occurrence whereby the previously
unforeseeable comes to appear as inevitable, the temporal character
of such an event is explored through Heidegger's discussion of
temporality and historicity. Beginning with his magnum opus, "Being
and Time, " Heidegger is shown to have undertaken a radical
rethinking of time in terms of human action, understood as
involving both doing and making and as implicated in an interplay
of the opportune moment ("kairos") and temporal continuity
("chronos"). Developing this theme through his key writings of the
early 1930s, the book shows how Heidegger's analyses of truth and
freedom led to an increasingly dialectical account of time and
action culminating in his phenomenology of the - artistic and
political - 'work'. A context is thus given for Heidegger's
political engagement in 1933. While diagnosing the moral failure of
this engagement, the book defends Heidegger's account of the time
of human action and shows it to foreshadow his later thought of a
'new beginning'.
