{"product_id":"heideggers-being-and-time-and-mark-blitz-9781589881174","title":"Heidegger's Being and Time and the Possibility of Political Philosophy","description":"\u003cp\u003eMartin Heidegger's \u003ci\u003eBeing and Time\u003c\/i\u003e (1927) challenged earlier thinking about the basic structures of human being, our involvement in practical affairs, and our understanding of history, time, and being. Blitz clarifies Heidegger's discussions, offers alternative analyses of phenomena central to Heidegger's argument, and examines the connection between Heidegger's position in \u003ci\u003eBeing and Time\u003c\/i\u003e and his support of Nazism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs Blitz explains in his new afterword, \"When I began to study Martin Heidegger nearly fifty years ago, my goal was to explore the meaning of \u003ci\u003eBeing and Time\u003c\/i\u003e for political philosophy. I wished to discover what it might offer for clarifying the grounds on which the basic concepts and alternatives of political philosophy rest. Would a close reading of it help us understand the questions of justice, freedom, the common good, natural rights, virtue, human happiness, and the philosophic life? These questions are as important today as they were then.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough Blitz often questions and criticizes Heidegger's views, he presents them with scrupulous care and clarity. Specialists and students in the areas of political theory, phenomenology, metaphysics, and moral philosophy will find \u003ci\u003eHeidegger's Being and Time \u0026amp; the Possibility of Political Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e an invaluable resource.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Blitz\u003c\/b\u003e has been a professor of political philosophy at Claremont McKenna College for twenty years.
