{"product_id":"early-heidegger-and-medieval-philosophy","title":"Early Heidegger and Medieval Philosophy","description":"\u003cem\u003eThe Early Heidegger and Medieval Philosophy\u003c\/em\u003e is a major interpretive study of Heidegger's complex relationship to medieval philosophy. S. J. McGrath's contribution is historical and biographical as well as philosophical, examining how the enthusiastic defender of the Aristotelian-Scholastic tradition became the great destroyer of metaphysical theology. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book provides an informative and comprehensive examination of Heidegger's changing approach to medieval sources--from the seminary studies of Bonaventure to the famous phenomenological destructions of medieval ontology. McGrath argues that the mid-point of this development, and the high point of Heidegger's reading of medieval philosophy, is the widely neglected habilitation thesis on Scotus and speculative grammar. He shows that this neo-Kantian retrieval of phenomenological moments in the metaphysics of Scotus and Thomas of Erfurt marks the beginning of a turn from metaphysics to existential phenomenology. McGrath's careful hermeneutical reconstruction of this complex trajectory uncovers the roots of Heidegger's critique of ontotheology in a Luther-inspired defection from his largely Scholastic formation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the end McGrath argues that Heidegger fails to do justice to the spirit of medieval philosophy. The book sheds new light on a long-debated question of the early Heidegger's theological significance. Far from a neutral phenomenology, Heidegger's masterwork, \u003cem\u003eBeing and Time\u003c\/em\u003e, is shown to be a philosophically questionable overturning of the medieval theological paradigm.","brand":"The Catholic University of America Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54262993977688,"sku":"9780813221878","price":28.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780813221878_be777006-00db-45b6-8174-46246384c457.jpg?v=1783746932","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/early-heidegger-and-medieval-philosophy","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
