"For an acquaintance with the thought of Heidegger, What Is Called Thinking? is as important as Being and Time. It is the only systematic presentation of the thinker's late philosophy and . . . it is perhaps the most exciting of his books."--Hannah Arendt
A reprint, with new Introduction, of the Harper Torch edition of
1970. The famous introductory lectures collected in this volume
represent the distillation of Hegel's mature views on the three
most important activities of spirit, and have the further
advantage, shared by his lectures in general, of being more
comprehensible than those works of his published during his
lifetime. A new Introduction, Select Bibliography, Analytical Table
of Contents, and the restoration in the section headings of the
outline of Hegel's lectures make this new edition particularly
useful and welcome.
Selected for the 2019 Commandant's Professional Reading List J.
Glenn Gray entered the army as a private in May 1941, having been
drafted on the same day he was informed of his doctorate in
philosophy from Columbia University. He was discharged as a second
lieutenant in October 1945, having been awarded a battlefield
commission during fighting in France. Gray saw service in North
Africa, Italy, France, and Germany in a counter-espionage unit.
Fourteen years after his discharge, Gray began to reread his war
journals and letters in an attempt to find some meaning in his
wartime experiences. The result is The Warriors, a philosophical
meditation on what warfare does to us and an examination of the
reasons soldiers act as they do. Gray explains the attractions of
battle—the adrenaline rush, the esprit de corps—and analyzes
the many rationalizations made by combat troops to justify their
actions. In the end, Gray notes, “War reveals dimensions of human
nature both above and below the acceptable standards for
humanity.”
