Four Lectures on Heidegger - Cool Millennium Modern European Philosophy, #1

Heidegger's Being and Time has divided critics since its publication in 1927. Some consider it to be one of the greatest philosophical works of the 20th century. Others disagree - even today. In this book, Hannah Brunschvig argues that Heidegger was an old-fashioned system-builder, whose ultimate aim (despite himself) was to create a 'meta-ethical Natural Law theory'.  Drawing on her own critique of Hume and on Jungian psychology, she rewrites Heidegger's thinking to create a version of 'Dasein' that meshes with conceptions of human beings as essentially social. But she never neglects the hermeneutical problems.

Hannah Brunschvig was born in the Swiss canton of Aargau in 1985. After completing her MAS at Lucerne, she worked as a Zustellerin in Die Schweizerische Post AG (the Swiss Postal Service) for four years, before becoming a Projektleiterin in 2010. She is a member of Libertäre Aktion Winterthur (LAW) and produces socialist-philosophical zines for book fairs. She is married with four children.
