Heidegger's Confessions: The Remains of Saint Augustine in Being and Time and Beyond (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780226419077)

"Heidegger s Confessions" is a sustained exploration of the influence of the figure of Saint Augustine on Heidegger s thinking. Drawing from Heidegger s early and later writings, it examines in-depth the use Heidegger made of Augustinian conceptswhat they contributed to his philosophical formation, the tensions they generated in his work, how they subtly resurfaced in his later works; the often unapparent ways in which Heidegger dealt with their recurrence; and finally, what these recurrences tell us about his critique of modern metaphysics. The often surprising ways in which Heidegger made subtle, yet sophisticated use of Augustine invites reflection on current ways of construing the relationship between philosophy and religion. "Heidegger s Confessions "thus ends by offering a fresh perspective on the interdisciplinary character of the philosophy of religion in its contemporary continental context."
