About this ebook
Martin Heidegger - philosophy's 'hidden king', or leading exponent of a dangerously misguided secular mysticism. Heidegger has been acclaimed as the most powerfully original philosopher of the twentieth century. Profoundly influential on deconstruction, existentialism and phenomenology, he stands behind all major strands of post-structuralist and postmodern thought. Heidegger announced the end of philosophy and of humanism, and was a committed Nazi and vocal supporter of Hitler's National Socialism. Was Heidegger offering a deeply conservative mythology or a crucial deconstruction of philosophy as we have known it? "Introducing Heidegger" provides an accessible introduction to his notoriously abstruse thinking, mapping out its historical contexts and exploring its resonances in ecology, theology, art, architecture, literature and other fields. The book opens up an encounter with a kind of thinking whose outlines might still not yet be clear, and whose forms might still surprise us.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Guides for the Perplexed gave me one winner and two resounding duds, so I'm switching over to this series for all my intro-level theory needs. This volume is on Heidegger, and it is great and totally clear and piled up all the kindling and laid the larger logs by and popped the cap off the gas can and got everything set up just so for the man himself to light my fire, except that I'm freaked out about the whole Nazi thing. The pictures could have added more (LOTS of talking philosopher heads), but overall this is a good egg.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a really accessible introduction to Derrida and his Deconstructivist approach to philosophy, literature, art, and politics. Deconstruction is explained at a basic level here, with the amount of quirky illustration outweighing the text.It would be necessary to read some of the original texts by Derrida to be able to fairly assess whether his ideas have the significance that some people claim for them in philosophy, though I got the impression that he has just put a name on something that has been going on in the side lines for years - challenging the underpinnings of Western thought. However he doesn't seek to do so on the same terms (using a thorough logical philosophical approach), so to some extent what he does falls outside of Philosophy. This is perhaps the reason why he has been better received in English departments compared to Philosophy departments.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Derrida may be brilliant, however, his writing is incomprehensible. This book helped me understand what the hell he was talking about. Now I get to throw Deconstruction around like a ridiculously good hand of poker.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I had to read this twice. And it's the comic book! But the second time I started to get it."Between life and death--it's an uncertain space. The zombie might be EITHER alive OR dead. But it cuts across these categories, it's BOTH alive AND dead. Equally it is NEITHER alive NOR dead, since it cannot take on the "full" senses of these terms. True life must preclude true death. The zombie short-circuits the usual logic of distinction. Having both states, it belongs to a different order of things: in terms of life and death, it cannot be decided.Undecidables are threatening. They poison the comforting sense that we inhabit a world governed by decidable categories. . . .What if the comfort of order is not to be restored? What if we insist on undecidability? The ceaseless play of EITHER/OR . . .NEITHER/NOR . . .BOTH?"
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It made Derrida intelligible... of course, that may not really be a good thing!
