Description: Heidegger's Contributions to Philosophy by Dr. Jason Powell Published posthumously, "Contributions to Philosophy" casted Heideggers philosophy in a new light against the opinion of "Being and Time".

FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Contributions to Philosophy was published posthumously in 1989. The book casts Heideggers philosophy in a wholly new light against the received opinion of Being and Time, as well as forming an important bridge between Heideggers earlier and later works. Jason Powells detailed and informative examination of this major work is extremely timely. Powell situates Contributions to Philosophy in the context of Heideggers entire corpus and particularly alongside the other works he was writing in the 1930s. He shows how this important book continues to define the term Sein (Being) and further develops life (here in a religious sense) as a central theme in Heideggers work. Powell provides the reader with an overview of the significance of Contributions, its genesis and production, as well as current interpretations and its position in the received body of work on Heidegger. He explores in particular how this work relates to Heidegger magnum opus, Being and Time, and argues that Contributions was in fact the next step in Heideggers major philosophical project as set out in his first major work. Author Biography Jason Powell has a PhD in philosophy and is the author of Jacques Derrida: A Biography and Heideggers Contributions to Philosophy.

Conclusion Review "...for the patient and charitable student who is perhaps already familiar with and sympathetic toward Heideggers difficult style, or a student who is willing and able to take the "leap," Powells introduction provides an excellent example of the esoteric and mystical reading of Heideggers philosophy...Recommended.
