The book is the first detailed and full exegesis of the role of
death in Heidegger's philosophy and provides a decisive answer to
the question of being. It is well-known that Heidegger asked the
"question of being". It is equally commonplace to assume that
Heidegger failed to provide a proper answer to the question. In
this provocative new study Niederhauser argues that Heidegger gives
a distinct response to the question of being and that the
phenomenon of death is key to finding and understanding it. The
book offers challenging interpretations of crucial moments of
Heidegger's philosophy such as aletheia, the history of being,
time, technology, the fourfold, mortality, the meaning of
existence, the event, and language. Niederhauser makes the case
that any reading of Heidegger that ignores death cannot fully
understand those concepts. The book argues that death is central to
Heidegger's "thinking path" from the early 1920s until his late
post-war philosophy. The book thus attempts to show that there is a
unity of the early and late Heidegger often ignored by other
commentators. Niederhauser argues that death is the fulcrum of
Heidegger's ontology and the turning point of the history of being.
Death resurfaces at the most crucial moments of the "thinking path"
- from beginning to end. The book is of interest to those invested
in current debates on the ethics of dying and the transhumanist
project of digital human immortality. The text also shows that for
Heidegger philosophy means first and foremost to learn how to die.
This volume speaks to continental and analytical philosophers and
students alike as it draws on a number of diverse Heidegger
interpretations and appreciates intercultural differences in
reading Heidegger.
