Book synopsis

Martin Heidegger's sustained reflection on Greek thought has been increasingly recognized as a decisive feature of his own philosophical development. At the same time, this important philosophical meeting has generated considerable controversy and disagreement concerning the radical originality of Heidegger's view of the Greeks and their place in his groundbreaking thinking. In "Heidegger and the Greeks", an international group of distinguished philosophers sheds light on the issues raised by Heidegger's encounter and engagement with the Greeks. The careful and nuanced essays brought together here shed light on how core philosophical concepts such as phenomenology, existentialism, hermeneutics, and ethics are understood today. For readers at all levels, this volume is an invitation to continue the important dialogue with Greek thinking that was started and stimulated by Heidegger. Drew A. Hyland is Charles A. Dana Professor of Philosophy at Trinity College. He is author of "Finitude and Transcendence in the Platonic Dialogues" and "Philosophy and Sport". John Panteleimon Manoussakis teaches at Boston College and the American College of Greece. He is editor of "After God" and "Traversing the Imaginary: Encounters with Richard Kearney". He has translated Martin Heidegger's "Sojourns: The Journey to Greece".
