Description
This volume offers a comprehensive introduction to Heidegger’s revolutionary approach to thinking. Lee Braver clarifies Heidegger’s distinction between calculative thinking—the instrumental rationality that dominates modern technology—and meditative thinking, which opens us to deeper truths about being and existence.
Braver traces Heidegger’s development of these ideas throughout his major works, showing how thinking for Heidegger is not merely an intellectual exercise but a fundamental way of engaging with the world. The book explores how Heidegger believed authentic thinking requires us to step back from our habitual patterns and encounter reality more directly.
Part of the Elements in the Philosophy of Martin Heidegger series, this work makes Heidegger’s complex philosophy accessible to students and scholars. It examines the practical implications of Heidegger’s thought for understanding technology, language, and human existence in the modern age.
