Description
Book SynopsisProvies a major interpretive study of Heidegger's complex relationship to medieval philosophy. S. J. McGrath's contribution is historical and biographical as well as philosophical, examining how the enthusiastic defender of the Aristotelian-Scholastic tradition became the great destroyer of metaphysical theology.
Trade Review“McGrath's book is an impressive study of Heidegger's philosophy, which sheds light on almost all aspects of the early Heidegger and undoubtedly the book is an important contribution to the understanding of the relationship between Heidegger's philosophy and theology.” - Christian Lotz,
The Medieval Review“Over the last fifteen years or so, inquiry into Heidegger has been greatly enriched by studies of Heidegger's early development. . . . McGrath's study provides a useful addition to this body of scholarship, extending our understanding of Heidegger's relation to medieval theology, while offering a novel critical perspective on the course of this relation.” - Glenn Branch,
