"... a true philosophical page-turner, a booklet that's tough to place down, even given the complexity of its issues." ―Jeffrey Powell

"This is an excellent addition to current books on Heidegger’s thought.... the writer has either a command of Heidegger and of the way most sensible to clarify him to a modern audience." ―David Wood

In pondering with Heidegger, Miguel de Beistegui seems to be into the essence of Heidegger’s suggestion and engages the philosopher’s transformative considering with modern Western tradition. instead of isolate and discover a unmarried subject or point of Heidegger, de Beistegui chooses a number of issues of access that spread from an analogous query or thought. De Beistegui examines Heidegger’s translations of Greek philosophy and his interpretations and displacements of anthropology, ethics and politics, technological know-how, and aesthetics. pondering with Heidegger proposes clean solutions to a few of philosophy’s such a lot primary questions and extends Heideggerian discourse into philosophical areas no longer taken care of by way of Heidegger himself.

Example text

Not even that; it is the anonymous death of the One: “one dies,” as if death were primarily this event that can be witnessed and verified empirically. 29 Death, as the ownmost possibility towards which I am, is simply thus bypassed altogether. But can Dasein understand its death authentically as well as inauthentically? Can it develop a proper relation to that which is most proper, to its ownmost possibility and mode of being? “Anticipation” (Vorlaufen) is the word that, according to Heidegger, captures this genuine relation.

Existence is itself a world, a web, or a totality of involvements populated with needs, necessities, and desires of the most practical kind and in which things are revealed as subordinated to or in reference with such goals and imperatives. This, then, is what Heidegger means when he says that Dasein “understands” its world: it does not understand it in the way it understands a mathematical problem, that is, abstractly, but precisely to the extent that it has a world, or rather, that it is that world.

Existence is now held in view as the ecstatic happening of truth, and one’s being as being-towards-death is allowed to bear on how we see the world. And the look onto the world has shifted. It is no longer the technical look that guides the handling of things and practical affairs, but the more hesitant and altogether briefer glance, in which existence catches a glimpse of itself. To anticipate is to see oneself as such, or as existence, from the very limit of existence: it is to see oneself come or arrive from a distance, to see oneself approaching, and, in this approach, to witness the birth of the world, the burgeoning of being.
