The essays in this volume . . . provid[e] worthwhile reading for anyone coming to Heidegger's work on language for the first time, and some help for those who have been thinking about, with, or against him already. The 14 original essays in this indispensable volume trace the transformations in Heidegger's thinking about language and discourse, hiddenness and unhiddenness, and, most importantly, the limits of language and the significance of silence. . . . Highly recommended.
The essays collected in this volume take a new look at the role of language in the thought of Martin Heidegger to reassess its significance for contemporary philosophy. They consider such topics as Heidegger's engagement with the Greeks, expression in language, poetry, the language of art and politics, and the question of truth. Heidegger left his unique stamp on language, giving it its own force and shape, especially with reference to concepts such as Dasein, understanding, and attunement, which have a distinctive place in his philosophy.
