Trawny emphasizes what still remains valuable in Heidegger’s reflections on art, language, \u003ci\u003eEreignis\u003c\/i\u003e, and poetry, even as he ruthlessly dissects the supinely stupid ‘metaphysical anti-Semitism’ of Heidegger’s \u003ci\u003eBlack Notebooks\u003c\/i\u003e.”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Sheehan\u003c\/b\u003e, Stanford University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartin Heidegger is one of the most influential figures of twentieth-century philosophy but his reputation was tainted by his associations with Nazism. The posthumous publication of the \u003ci\u003eBlack Notebooks\u003c\/i\u003e, which reveal the shocking extent of Heidegger’s anti-Semitism, has only cast further doubt on his work. Now more than ever, a new introduction to Heidegger is needed to reassess his work and legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book by the world-leading Heidegger scholar Peter Trawny is the first introduction to take into account the new material made available by the explosive publication of the \u003ci\u003eBlack Notebooks\u003c\/i\u003e. Seeking neither to condemn nor excuse Heidegger’s views, Trawny directly confronts and elucidates the most problematic aspects of his thought. At the same time, he provides a comprehensive survey of Heidegger’s development, from his early writings on phenomenology and his magnum opus, \u003ci\u003eBeing and Time\u003c\/i\u003e, to his later writings on poetry and technology. Trawny captures the extraordinary significance and breadth of fifty years of philosophical production, all against the backdrop of the tumultuous events of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis concise introduction will be required reading for the many students and scholars in philosophy and critical theory who study Heidegger, and it will be of great interest to general readers who want to know more about one of the major figures of contemporary philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePreface to the English Edition\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e1.
