Heidegger's Life and Thought: A Tarnished Legacy
Autor Mahon O'Brienen Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 oct 2019
The publication of Heidegger's private 'Black Notebooks' from the 1930s and 40s has led to renewed interest in the relationship between Heidegger's philosophy and his political views and caused widespread confusion and condemnation. This short book puts many of these problems into context and offers an honest appraisal of Heidegger's disturbing political views and how they might relate to some of the perennial themes that occupied his philosophical imagination.
A fascinating portrait of a brilliant, complicated and often unattractive human being, the book will prove invaluable for students with some familiarity with Heidegger's thought, students approaching Heidegger's work for the first time and non-specialists looking to acquaint themselves with a great, yet problematic, twentieth century thinker.

Recenzii
As one would expect of a work that performs the task of a scholarly introduction, much of what O'Brien has to say about the details of Heidegger's writing is cursory or compressed, but this is admirably done. What is most impressive, though, are the occasions where O'Brien is able to offer genuinely subtle and careful readings of a few select passages of Heidegger's work.
While squarely facing Heidegger's troubling political attitudes and personal flaws, Mahon O'Brien shows that "one of the most original and creative philosophers to have lived and worked in the twentieth century" remains thought-provoking today. O'Brien draws on letters, notebooks, and reminiscences as well as the canonical texts to create a stimulating introduction to Heidegger's life, ideas, and legacies.
With exemplary clarity and a sure command of its subject, O'Brien's compendious introduction weaves together deeply appreciative and incisive glosses on the diverse yet also continuous "pathways" of Heidegger's thought - and its legacy and global reach - with an unvarnished portrait of the philosopher's difficult temperament, complete with often unflattering, alarming, and notorious details of his personal and public life.
Mahon O'Brien's deeply informed and eminently readable introduction to Heidegger's life and thought provides, in equal measures, a devastating critique of Heidegger's anti-Semitism and politics together with a nuanced appreciation of his major philosophical achievements. In both senses of the term a "critical" reading of Heidegger, the book cuts a clear path through the tangled woods of this brilliant yet profoundly flawed philosopher.
Accessible and intellectually honest, this critical introduction to Heidegger's life and works is a timely contribution to the field, which I recommend highly to beginners as well as specialists.
