"The eminent philosopher delivers an illuminating interpretation of Kant's magnum opus in what is itself a significant work of Western philosophy. The text of Martin Heidegger's 1927 -- 28 university lecture course on Emmanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason presents a close interpretive reading of the first two parts of this masterpiece of modern philosophy. In this course, Heidegger continues the task he enunciated in Being and Time as the problem...

Heidegger's second magnum opus after Being and Time , laying the groundwork for his later writing, in a translation of "impeccable clarity and readability" (Peter Warnek).

How could Hannah Arendt, a German Jew who fled Germany in 1931, have reconciled with Martin Heidegger, whom she knew had joined and actively participated in the Nazi Party? In this remarkable biography, Antonia Grunenberg tells how the relationship between Arendt and Heidegger embraced both love...

"This extraordinary new work" by the philosopher and author of Plato's Cratylus "has given us nothing less than a radically new Socrates" (Michael Naas, author of Plato and the Invention of Life). Who is Socrates? While most readers know him as the central figure in Plato's work, he is hard to characterize. In this book, S.
