Jussi Backman returns to that question during this ebook, reading where of the team spirit of being within the paintings of Heidegger. Backman sketches a constant photograph of Heidegger as a philosopher of solidarity who all through his profession in numerous methods tried to return to phrases with either Parmenides’s and Aristotle’s primary questions about the singularity or multiplicity of being—attempting to take action, although, in a “postmetaphysical” demeanour rooted in instead of above and past specific, located beings. via his research, Backman bargains a brand new manner of figuring out the elemental continuity of Heidegger’s philosophical venture and the interconnectedness of such key Heideggerian strategies as ecstatic temporality, the ontological distinction, the flip (Kehre), the development (Ereignis), the fourfold (Geviert), and the research of recent technology.
