George Steiner

208 pages | 5-1/2 x 8-3/8 | © 1978, 1989
With characteristic lucidity and style, Steiner makes Heidegger’s immensely difficult body of work accessible to the general reader. In a new introduction, Steiner addresses language and philosophy and the rise of Nazism.”It would be hard to imagine a better introduction to the work of philosopher Martin Heidegger.”—George Kateb, The New Republic

About stephenkmacksd

Rootless cosmopolitan,down at heels intellectual;would be writer. 'Polemic is a discourse of conflict, whose effect depends on a delicate balance between the requirements of truth and the enticements of anger, the duty to argue and the zest to inflame. Its rhetoric allows, even enforces, a certain figurative licence. Like epitaphs in Johnson’s adage, it is not under oath.' https://www.lrb.co.uk/v15/n20/perry-anderson/diary
