Description
Heidegger's Later Philosophy by Julian Young is an in-depth exploration of the philosopher's most complex and often misunderstood ideas. This book provides a clear and accessible explanation of Heidegger's thought, examining key concepts such as the loss of 'the gods', the impact of technology, and humanity's sense of dislocation. Young argues that Heidegger's philosophy offers a profound insight into the nature of human existence, particularly in relation to the concept of 'oblivion of Being'. This idea is central to Heidegger's notion of overcoming a post-destitute, genuinely post-modern existence. By examining this complex and challenging philosophy, Young provides an invaluable resource for both students and scholars of Heidegger's works. This book will be of interest to anyone seeking to understand the depth and complexity of Heidegger's later thought, and its relevance to contemporary debates about human existence and modernity.
