Description: "Utilizing both literary and philosophical analysis, Heidegger and Homecoming reveals the deep figural unity of the German philosopher's writings, by exploring not only these homecoming and homelessness motifs, but also the six distinctive voices that structure the apparent disorder of his works. In this illuminating and comprehensive study, Robert Mugerauer argues that these motifs and Heidegger's many voices are required to overcome and replace conventional and linear methods of logic and representation." "Making use of material that has been neglected and is yet to be translated into English, Heidegger and Homecoming explains the elaborate means by which Heidegger proposed that humans are able to open themselves to others, while at the same time preserving their self-identity."--Jacket.
