Sinossi
«La mia attività si è sviluppata soprattutto in tre ambiti. C’è quello delle interpretazioni tragiche dell’uomo e dei suoi rapporti con lo stato, che ha la sua duplice fonte nella tragedia greca e nell’episodio emblematico della morte di Socrate. Il secondo ambito è costituito dal complesso problema della natura e dello sviluppo del linguaggio, e in particolare delle possibilità e delle costrizioni presenti nella traduzione sia all’interno della propria lingua sia fra le lingue dell’umanità. Infine, nel terzo ambito, ho cercato di analizzare i nessi tra le interpretazioni di opere artistiche, filosofiche e scientifiche da un lato, e il totalitarismo politico del XX secolo dall’altro. Porre queste domande significa ritornare, forse ossessivamente, ai rapporti tra la cultura tedesca e il nazismo, un intreccio in cui la lingua tedesca – che Goethe e Kant, ma anche Hitler hanno usato da maestri – ha giocato un ruolo determinante. In ognuno di questi tre ambiti, ho trovato Heidegger presente in modo massiccio e rivolto a un ulteriore sviluppo della riflessione.»

Recensioni
I am not convinced that Martin Heidegger wanted to be "understood" in the customary sense of that word; that he wanted an understanding which would entail the possibility of restating his views by means of a more or less close paraphrase. An ancient epigram on Heraclitus, in so many respects Heidegg Leggi tutto
steiner is a pseud, imho.
Read half an gave up, I wish I'd have just spent that time reading Being and Time. If you want a good introduction to Heidegger read John MacQuarrie's book, which is a third of the size of this and actually useful.
In this introduction to Heidegger, George Steiner starts out by acknowledging that many philosophers regard Heidegger’s philosophy as nonsense, as literally not making sense, let alone false. Indeed nothing is so emblematic of the cleavage between Anglo-American analytic philosophy and European phen Leggi tutto
Great treatise on Heidegger, and the best introduction to his thought that I have yet encountered. It goes beyond a dry summary of Heidegger; it is not just Heidegger-made-worldly, so to speak. It is simple, lucid, easy to follow, and all this is achieved while keeping Heidegger "alive and pulsing"
This introduction to Heidegger's thought is well-written and short - a fast read. I like this work because Steiner tries to show, against blistering criticisms by the Frankfurt School's Herbert Marcuse and Theodor Adorno, the latter of whom devoted an entire book ('The Jargon of Authenticity') to co Leggi tutto
This is a really good book with very clearly delineated objectives. It explains Heidegger's main concepts from "Sein und Zeit" and other writings as well. I liked that fact that Steiner focused mainly in Heidegger's ontology, but also found a good balance and mentioned Heidegger's historical context Leggi tutto
This was recommended as an introduction to Heidegger, but I don't think it works very well that way. It is as much a critique as it is an introduction, which presupposes a familiarity with the material. I don't have much confidence in my understanding of Heidegger, but it was enough to understand St Leggi tutto
I've been reading this short book on-and-off for a while now, and just managed to finish it. Certainly not because it was boring, but because I had so much else on my place. Overall, the book gets 5 stars because it does something that I didn't used to think possible: makes Heidegger understandable a Leggi tutto
This is one of the best short studies of Heidegger ever written.
