Making Sense of Heidegger: A Paradigm Shift (New Heidegger Research)
Making Sense of Heidegger A Paradigm Shift - New Heidegger Research Author:Thomas Sheehan Making Sense of Heidegger presents a radically new context for understanding Heidegger's notoriously difficult corpus. Clearly written and rigorously grounded in the whole of Heidegger's writings, Thomas Sheehan's latest book shows that the unity of Heidegger's thinking is founded on two theses: that 'being' refers to the meaningful presence of ... more »things within human concerns; and that what makes such intelligibility possible is the very structure of human being, 'thrown-openness' or 'appropriation'. Sheehan offers a retranslation of some of th key terminology in Heidegger's philosophical lexicon and a compelling alternative to the 'classical paradigm' that has dominated Heidegger research in the last half-century. This hugely important book opens up a fresh new path in Heidegger research that will no doubt stimulate dialogue both within the world of Heidegger Studies and also with scholars working outside the phenomenological tradition.« less
