Description: "An essential reference in the debates over one of the twentieth century's most influential - and controversial - philosophers, this book demonstrates the profound influence on Heidegger's work of both historical context and the other thinkers with whom he engaged in dialogue. These latter include not only the ancient Greeks and such German predecessors as Hegel, Holderlin and Nietzsche, but also those contemporaries of the radical right from whom he would later try to distance himself."--BOOK JACKET.
