Contents:
Introduction : the history of an irony -- The phenomenologists of action and plurality -- Speculative individuation and the life of somebody -- From Aristotle to bios theoretikos and tragic theoria -- The paradox of belonging and withdrawal -- The kehre and the conflict between thinking and willing -- Enduring thaumazein and lacking judgment -- Appendix. Time and the inner conflicts of the mind.
Review: "Appearing for the first time in English, this book by Jacques Taminiaux is a systematic investigation into Hannah Arendt's intellectual relationship to Heidegger, the implications of which are indispensable to understanding the philosophical choices of our times." "Contrary to other recent studies on these two figures, Taminiaux claims "that Arendt's two major works... reveal at every page not at all a dependency upon Heidegger... but rather a constant, and increasingly ironic, debate with him." In the process, Heidegger's philosophical work is interpreted in terms of its own political significance."--BOOK JACKET.
