Review # 1 was written on 2019-11-30 00:00:00 Glen Barber من با متون دست اول هایدگر چندان آشنایی ندارم که قاضی این موضوع باشم که آیا این کتاب تفسیر خوبی از فلسفه هایدگر ارائه داده یانه؟ اما به عنوان کسی که نیاز به یک متن مقدماتی برای ورود به فلسفه ی هایدگر داشتم کتاب روان و خوبی بود که کمک کرد تا با مسائل اولیه فلسفه واپسین هیدگر آشنا بشم

Review # 2 was written on 2017-05-25 00:00:00 Ryan Rice This book is simply not very good --- there are far better introductions to the later Heidegger. Just off the top of my head, Vycinas's "Earth and Gods", Polt's "Heidegger: An Introduction" and "Emergency of Being," von Herrmann's "Wege ins Ereignis," and Poggeler's "Denkweg Martin Heideggers" are all far superior. All of these books are perfectly clear and well-written (i.e. not bogged down in post-structuralism), and show a true interpretive depth. Young literally seems to have just written down every instance of a word in Heidegger (for example, pp. 94-102, 'divinities' or 'gods'), mixed up contexts completely, and then presented a vague summary of 'the gods' that has absolutely no sensitivity or hermeneutic depth whatsoever ... he combines references to divinities from the 1920s, 1960s, and 1930s in the same paragraph, taking each instance completely out of context, and assuming that he's found some sort of 'general' Heideggerian doctrine. A thoroughly unhelpful book.
