Klappentext

Heidegger's explorations of affect or attunement are an essential part of his challenge to predominant Western traditions. The alert and inquisitive essays in this collection show that Heidegger's thoughts not only offer opportunities for deeper psychological insight, but also raise crucial questions about being, knowledge, ethics, and politics. 

- Richard Polt, Professor of Philosophy, Xavier University, USA
