This book makes explicit the ecological implications of Martin
Heidegger. It examines how the trajectory of Heidegger's thinking
harbors an "ecological turn," which comes to the forefront in his
attempt to anticipate the impending crisis precipitated by modern
technology. Schalow's emphasis on such key motifs as stewardship,
dwelling, and "letting be" (Gelassenheit) serves to coalesce the
problem of freedom in a new and innovative way, in order to expand
the interpretive or hermeneutic horizon for re-examining
Heidegger's philosophy. By prioritizing a response to today's
environmental crisis and the possible impact upon future
generations, the author traverses a divide within Heidegger
scholarship by developing a deeper, critical outlook on his
philosophy-without either reiterating standard interpretations or
rejecting them wholesale. He develops a trans-human approach to
ethics, which, by prioritizing the welfare of the earth, nature,
and animals, counters the anthropocentric bias and destructive
premise of modern technology. Heidegger's Ecological Turn will be
of interest to Heidegger scholars and researchers working in
phenomenology, hermeneutics, continental philosophy, and
environmental philosophy.
