Phenomenological Reviews

“[T]his collection can be considered a major contribution to its own field, one that simultaneously invites further productive engagement with the theme from anyone interested in what Heidegger brings to bear on affects (be it from within the field or from without).” -Tijmen Lansdaal Read

Publication blurb

“Heidegger on Affect is a tremendously rewarding volume. Eminent Heidegger scholars and philosophers explore the intertwined dimensions of affective phenomena in clear language and from an impressive variety of perspectives. Some essays focus on Heidegger’s interpretation of affective phenomena at different stages in his thinking; others highlight Heidegger’s contribution to our understanding of the place of affect in epistemology, moral psychology, philosophy of mind, ethics, politics, and metaphysics. All repay close study.” -Steven Crowell, Professor of Philosophy, Rice University, USA

Publication blurb

“Heidegger’s explorations of affect or 'attunement' are an essential part of his challenge to predominant Western traditions. The alert and inquisitive essays in this collection show that Heidegger’s thoughts not only offer opportunities for deeper psychological insight, but also raise crucial questions about being, knowledge, ethics, and politics.” -Richard Polt, Professor of Philosophy, Xavier University, USA
