Description

Heidegger's Hidden Sources reveals a surprising connection between Martin Heidegger's philosophy and East Asian thought. Reinhard May's study shows that Heidegger borrowed key ideas from Chinese Daoist and Zen Buddhist classics, often using them almost verbatim in his own work. This groundbreaking research has significant implications for our understanding of Heidegger's philosophy and its place within the broader history of thought. By exploring these hidden sources, May sheds new light on Heidegger as a pioneer of comparative philosophy and transcultural thinking. The discovery of this appropriation of non-Western sources challenges traditional views of Heidegger's work and invites readers to reconsider his legacy in a new and nuanced way.
