This is an important new monograph, focussing on the concept of
Angst, a concept central to Heidegger's thought and popular among
readers.The early Heidegger of "Being and Time" is generally
believed to locate finitude strictly within the individual, based
on an understanding that this individual will have to face its
death alone and in its singularity. Facing death is characterized
by the mood of Angst (anxiety), as death is not an experience one
can otherwise access outside of one's own demise.In the later
Heidegger, the finitude of the individual is rooted in the finitude
of the world it lives in and within which it actualizes its
possibilities, or Being. Against the standard reading that the
early Heidegger places the emphasis on individual finitude, this
important new book shows how the later model of the finitude of
Being is developed in "Being and Time". Elkholy questions the role
of Angst in Heidegger's discussion of death and it is at the point
of transition from the nothing back to the world of projects that
the author locates finitude and shows that Heidegger's later
thinking of the finitude of Being is rooted in "Being and Time".
