By the time Martin Heidegger passed away on May 26th, 1976, he had
become the most important and controversial philosopher of his age.
While many of his former students had become important philosophers
and thinkers in their own right, Heidegger also inspired countless
others, like Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, and Jean-Paul
Sartre. The second edition of the Historical Dictionary of
Heidegger's Philosophy is an historical perspective on the
development of Heidegger's thought in all its nuances and facets.
Schalow and Denker cast light on the historical influences that
shaped the thinker and his time through a chronology; an
introductory essay; a bibliography; appendixes that include German
and Greek to English glossaries of terms and a complete listing of
Heidegger's writings, lectures, courses, and seminars; and a
cross-referenced dictionary section offering over 600 entries on
concepts, people, works, and technical terms. This volume is an
invaluable resource for student and scholar alike.
This book addresses an epidemic that has developed on a global
scale, and, which under the heading of "addiction," presents a new
narrative about the travails of the human predicament. The book
introduces phenomenological motifs, such as desire, embodiment, and
temporality, to uncover the existential roots of addiction, and
develops Martin Heidegger's insights into technology to uncover the
challenge of becoming a self within the impulsiveness and
depersonalization of our digital age. By charting a new path of
philosophical inquiry, the book allows a pervasive, cultural
phenomenon, ordinarily reserved to psychology, to speak as a
referendum about the danger which technology poses to us on a daily
basis. In this regard, addiction ceases to be merely a clinical
malady, and instead becomes a "signpost" to exposing a hidden
danger posed by the assimilation of our culture within a
technological framework.
In this study, the author shows new entry points to the dialogue
between Kant and Heidegger. Schalow takes up the question: "Why
should a philosopher like Kant, for whom language seemed to be
almost inconsequential, become the crucial counter point for a
thinker like Heidegger to develop a novel way to understand and
express the most perennial of all philosophical concepts, namely,
'being' as such?" This approach allows for addressing issues which
are normally relegated to the periphery of the exchange between
Heidegger and Kant, including spatiality and embodiment, nature and
art, religion and politics.
This book makes explicit the ecological implications of Martin
Heidegger. It examines how the trajectory of Heidegger’s thinking
harbors an "ecological turn," which comes to the forefront in his
attempt to anticipate the impending crisis precipitated by modern
technology. Schalow’s emphasis on such key motifs as stewardship,
dwelling, and "letting be" (Gelassenheit) serves to coalesce the
problem of freedom in a new and innovative way, in order to expand
the interpretive or hermeneutic horizon for re-examining
Heidegger’s philosophy. By prioritizing a response to today’s
environmental crisis and the possible impact upon future
generations, the author traverses a divide within Heidegger
scholarship by developing a deeper, critical outlook on his
philosophy—without either reiterating standard interpretations or
rejecting them wholesale. He develops a trans-human approach to
ethics, which, by prioritizing the welfare of the earth, nature,
and animals, counters the anthropocentric bias and destructive
premise of modern technology. Heidegger’s Ecological Turn will be
of interest to Heidegger scholars and researchers working in
phenomenology, hermeneutics, continental philosophy, and
environmental philosophy.
Martin Heidegger's thinking is a complex, and his terminology is as
nuanced, as any thinker in the history of philosophy. As the
historian of philosophy par excellence, he also exhibits both a
greater appreciation and mastery of previous thinkers than any
almost any other philosopher before or since. The Historical
Dictionary of Heidegger's Philosophy, Third Edition addresses this
dual challenge of reading, understanding, and interpreting
Heidegger's vast writings. The book provides a comprehensive and
detailed account of the key terms shaping Heidegger's philosophy,
as well as outlining the development of his thought spanning the
entirety of his career spanning almost sixty years. The Dictionary
also includes a discussion of Heidegger's seminal writings, the
spanning his entire Gesamtausgabe (Complete Edition) up through
volume 99 (of the projected 102 volumes).
