Short but to the point, it profoundly challenges ingrained assumptions about \u003ci\u003eDestruktion\u003c\/i\u003e in Heidegger’s early thought and the role that concept fulfills in fundamental texts of philosophy. Sean D. Kirkland is uniquely qualified to tackle this topic, which is an obvious lacuna in the research on Heidegger, and the insightfulness and originality of this work positions him as one of the preeminent scholars of his generation on the subject.” - Dimitris Vardoulakis, author of \u003ci\u003eSpinoza, the Epicurean: Authority and Utility in Materialism\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eA bold new conception of Heidegger’s project of \u003ci\u003eDestruktion\u003c\/i\u003e as a method of interpreting history\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For Martin Heidegger, our inherited traditions provide the concepts through which we make our world intelligible. Concepts we can also oppose, disrupt, and even exceed. First, however, if Western philosophy is our inheritance, we must submit it to \u003ci\u003eDestruktion\u003c\/i\u003e—starting with Aristotle. \u003ci\u003eHeidegger and the Destruction of Aristotle: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn How to Read the Tradition\u003c\/i\u003e presents a new conception of Heidegger’s “destruction” as a way of reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Situated between Nietzschean genealogy and Derridean deconstruction, this method uncovers in Aristotle the most vital originating articulations of the Western tradition and gives us the means to confront it. Sean D. Kirkland argues this is not a rejection of the past but a sophisticated and indeed timely hermeneutic tool—a complex, illuminating, and powerful method for interpreting historical texts at our present moment. Acknowledging the historical Heidegger as a politically compromised and still divisive figure, Kirkland demonstrates that Heideggerian destruction is a method of interpreting history that enables us to reorient and indeed transform its own most troubling legacies.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Northwestern University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52676623859992,"sku":"9780810146181","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/heidegger-and-the-destruction-of-aristotle-on-how-to-read-the-tradition-paperback-softback-9780810146181","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
