At the same time, he is sometimes seen as a morose existentialist due to his concern with 'being-toward-death.' Raj Singh's capable study corrects these misreadings by showing the constitutive role of 'world' in all of Heidegger's writings and also the crucial role of death-contemplation and anticipation as a sustaining penumbra of human life. An additional accomplishment is the demonstration of the continuity of Heidegger's work notwithstanding important 'turns' and transformations. -- Fred Dallmayr, University of Notre Dame\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface Chapter 1: Dasein and the World  Chapter 2: Existence and the World  Chapter 3: World, Ground and Being  Chapter 4: Art and the World  Chapter 5: World and Language  Chapter 6: Dwelling in the World  Chapter 7: Death and Authenticity Chapter 8: Death in Later Works","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037511745879,"sku":"9780739171943","price":82.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780739171943.jpg?v=1750936038","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/heidegger-world-and-death-9780739171943","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
