Heidegger's Early Philosophy Summary

Heidegger's Early Philosophy: The Phenomenology of Ecstatic Temporality by Dr James Luchte (Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, School of the Humanities, China)

In Heidegger's Early Philosophy, James Luchte sets forth a comprehensive examination of Heidegger's phenomenology between 1924 and 1929, during which time Heidegger was largely concerned with a radical temporalization of thought. The book seeks to re-construct Heidegger's radical phenomenology through an interpretation of all his published and unpublished works of the period, including the 1920s lecture courses and his published works, Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics and his magnum opus, Being and Time. The book also explores Heidegger's relationship with other philosophers, such as Husserl, Kant and Leibniz, with respect to the question of the relationship of thought and temporality. The book addresses a significant void in the treatment of Heidegger's early phenomenology, emphasizing the importance of Heidegger's lecture courses and other works besides Being and Time, and thereby investigates the many fragments of Heidegger's work so as to more fully comprehend the meaning and significance of the original project. James Luchte makes an extraordinary and hugely important contribution to the field of Heidegger Studies.

Heidegger's Early Philosophy Reviews

Mention - Book News, February 2009 ... it is the merit of this book to persistently return time and again to the radical and utter finitude of existence that confronts us in the 'event' of our original temporality, opening as it does onto the groundless abyss of nothingness and exposing us to the awesome and overwhelming face of 'matters themselves' (Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Theodore Kisiel)
