Description
Book SynopsisThis book brings together an international group of scholars to discuss the ramifications of Heidegger's
Black Notebooks for philosophy and the humanities. In contrast to both those who seek to exonerate Heidegger and those who simply condemn him, they urge careful reading and rereading of his work to turn Heideggerian thought against itself.
Trade ReviewAn impressive collection that genuinely enriches the conversation on Heidegger's politics and philosophy. -- Gil Anidjar, Columbia University
