Heidegger's Platonism challenges Heidegger's 1940 interpretation of
Plato as the philosopher who initiated the West's ontological
decline into contemporary nihilism. Mark A. Ralkowski argues that,
in his earlier lecture course, On the Essence of Truth, in which he
appropriates Plato in a positive light, Heidegger discovered the
two most important concepts of his later thought, namely the
difference between the Being of beings and Being as such, and the
'belonging together' of Being and man in what he eventually calls
Ereignis, the 'event of appropriation'. Ralkowski shows that, far
from being the grand villain of metaphysics, Plato was in fact the
gateway to Heidegger's later period. Because Heidegger discovers
the seeds of his later thought in his positive appropriation of
Plato, this book argues that Heidegger's later thought is a return
to and phenomenological transformation of Platonism, which is
ironic not least because Heidegger thought of himself as the West's
first truly post-Platonic philosopher.
