Heidegger and the Greeks

<p>Martin Heidegger's sustained reflection on Greek thought has been increasingly recognized as a decisive feature of his own philosophical development. At the same time this important philosophical meeting has generated considerable controversy and disagreement concerning the radical originality of Heidegger's view of the Greeks and their place in his groundbreaking thinking. In Heidegger and the Greeks an international group of distinguished philosophers sheds light on the issues raised by Heidegger's encounter and engagement with the Greeks. The careful and nuanced essays brought together here shed light on how core philosophical concepts such as phenomenology existentialism hermeneutics and ethics are understood today. For readers at all levels this volume is an invitation to continue the important dialogue with Greek thinking that was started and stimulated by Heidegger.<br /><br />Contributors are Claudia Baracchi Walter A.
