"This is one of the more accessible collections of Heidegger's work. In the decade since my immersion in Heidegger I've forgotten quite a bit of the nuances of his philosophy. All those German words that don't quite translate to English, and then with de put in front of them to make them mean something entirely new, and even more untranslatable.
Heidegger has a bad rap, not that it is undeserved, entirely. He flirted dangerously close to National Socialism, even after his 'disillusionment' with Hitler and company he still stayed very quiet about the whole incident (and the whole incident that could be called the Hitler years). At the same time Hannah Arendt could still praise works of his like "Letter on Humanism", probably the most striking silence of Heidegger's on the Nazi's. There is something reactionary, and old fashioned about Heidegger, but those same things are also what lead directly to the post-structuralist's and 'hip and edgy' philosophy.
Two works especially in this book, one on art and the other on technology are especially interesting, and have occupied my thoughts pretty regularly in the past ten years. Now I'm going to attempt to put them to some kind of, do I say practical?, use. Maybe there will be more of a review, some thoughts or something here or in the comment section while I try to figure out how I'm going to use this book to bewilder a professor and get myself invited to an academic conference."
"We read this collection for Tom Sheehan's Continental German Thought: Heidegger course during the second semester of 1981/82 at Loyola University Chicago.
Tom's treatment of Heidegger was exceptionally clear--clearer than any other commentator I've yet read. Two things were unusual in his approach. First, he put Heidegger in contrast to Aristotle specifically. Second, he conceptualized the presence of beings as occurring by their absence--or what he termed "pres-absenciality". This latter point was reminiscent of Freud's treatment of the development of the sense of self as opposed to other when the infant begins to be denied instant gratification. It also made me think of what is traditionally termed "ordinary grace," like, for instance, our atmosphere. Unless confronted by inconvenient extremities like intense winds, or a vacuum, or painful pollution, we take it for granted, which is to say we are unconscious of it. Our lives are upheld by grace abounding in this sense and we are generally oblivious to our fortune until a breakdown of such vital relationships occurs. Think, for instance, of the unforeseen prolonged absence or even death of a companion. In the primary instances of such loss we become, according to classical psychoanalytic theory (and, one would imagine, common sense), conscious of things, of beings distinct from ourselves. Of course, this awakening can also occur in terms of self as when one become sick or disabled in a new way. And it can also, Heidegger would have us think, happen in even deeper ways as in the sense of Being and not just beings. The task of Heidegger's philosophy would seem thus to be in accord with the ancient sense of philosophy as being the love of wisdom, wisdom being to recognize and appreciate and be open to what the tradition termed "ordinary grace"."
