Reviews | ||
This starts with a great beginning. The first item in this book by Heidegger is a review of Jaspers's "Psychology of World Views." Heidegger's interest in the tendencies which Jaspers seemed to serve in his observations are a sign of the unsettling effect that true philosophy introduces into a view that has assumed normal psychological orientations. I haven't attempted to pursue the rest of the thoughts in this book. The initial outburst of rebellious enthusiasm for this kind of thing was responsible for more than enough trouble in my case. | ||
Path to and back An excellent book if you are already interested in Heidegger (also good for students who require some understanding without the time to read his larger works). For example, 'On the essence and Concept of Fusis' clarifies much about the ever folding nature of Being that at times seems ambiguous. It is not a complete enclyclopedia of meaning but as an extra learning device beside his other works there is an essay that covers everything. But do not approach it as a set of essays to prelude other reading. | ||
