In doing so, Heidegger challenges the reader with a provocative form of artisan thinking, which for Weidler is central to understanding the significance of Heidegger's work overall.In \u003ci\u003eVorträge und Aufsätze\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003ePublic Lectures and Essays\u003c\/i\u003e) Heidegger declares: ''once it has become anthropology, philosophy perishes from metaphysics.'' Remarks critical of ''philosophical anthropology'' are scattered throughout his writings, but so far commentators have not connected these tantalizing statements in any systematic way. This book deals with his hostility by addressing what we are to make of Heidegger's frequent but elusive dismissals of philosophical anthropology as a field of stu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRarely are books this nuanced also this comprehensive.

Aaron Simmons,  Associate Professor of Philosophy, Furman University, USA\u003cbr\u003eWeidler’s deeply scholarly book situates Heidegger in the history of modern German thought. Weidler corrects the prevalent tendency to read Heidegger out of context and offers us historically grounded arguments for re-assessing Heidegger’s problematic relation to the political. This book, which every Heidegger scholar will benefit from, proves the importance of philosophical anthropology and theology for Heidegger’s development; it shows that Heidegger’s conception of the holy is constructed as an alternative to the German Idealist effort to personalize the absolute. A refreshing and important contribution to Heidegger studies and the history of contemporary philosophy. -- Sean J.
