Critical Heidegger, edited by Christopher Macann

Critical Heidegger, edited by Christopher Macann, is a comprehensive collection of twelve influential essays that offer contemporary European perspectives on the philosophy of Martin Heidegger. Written by leading scholars—many of whom are translated into English for the first time—this volume explores Heidegger's complex relationship with major figures in the history of philosophy, including Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, Nietzsche, and Wittgenstein.

Contributors such as Jean-Luc Marion, Marlene Zarader, Ernst Tugendhat, and Karl-Otto Apel engage critically with Heidegger’s thought, examining topics such as truth, metaphysics, temporality, space, and praxis. The essays not only analyze Heidegger’s intellectual development but also reflect on his lasting influence—and the controversies surrounding his legacy—in continental philosophy.

Ideal for advanced students, researchers, and anyone interested in phenomenology and twentieth-century thought, Critical Heidegger provides both a scholarly introduction and a deep critical engagement with one of the most significant philosophers of the modern era.
