Martin Heidegger and Michel Foucault are two of the most important
and influential thinkers of the twentieth century. Each has spawned
volumes of secondary literature and sparked fierce, polarizing
debates, particularly about the relationship between philosophy and
politics. And yet, to date there exists almost no work that
presents a systematic and comprehensive engagement of the two in
relation to one another. "The World of Freedom" addresses this
lacuna.
Neither apology nor polemic, the book demonstrates that it is not
merely interesting but necessary to read Heidegger and Foucault
alongside one another if we are to properly understand the shape of
twentieth-century Continental thought. Through close, scholarly
engagement with primary texts, Robert Nichols develops original and
demanding insights into the relationship between fundamental and
historical ontology, modes of objectification and subjectification,
and an ethopoetic conception of freedom. In the process, his book
also reveals the role that Heidegger's reception in France played
in Foucault's intellectual development--the first major work to do
so while taking full advantage of the recent publication of
Foucault's last College de France lectures of the 1980s, which mark
a return to classical Greek and Roman philosophy, and thus to
familiar Heideggerian loci of concern.
