Re-Introducing Heidegger
Abstract
Heidegger is so well known that another introduction might seem to be superfluous. The author has dared it nonetheless because approaching Heidegger from his work on language offers us a different perspective – and, what the writer believes, is a more nuanced appreciation of this landmark in contemporary philosophy. The kehre has been exaggerated, to the author’s mind, and while the author does acknowledge that there is room for distinguishing between an earlier and a later Heidegger, he has been more keen about the continuity in Heidegger’s thought.
