Concepts we can also oppose, disrupt, and even exceed. First, however, if Western philosophy is our inheritance, we must submit it to \u003ci\u003eDestruktion\u003c\/i\u003e—starting with Aristotle. \u003ci\u003eHeidegger and the Destruction of Aristotle: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn How to Read the Tradition\u003c\/i\u003e presents a new conception of Heidegger’s “destruction” as a way of reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Situated between Nietzschean genealogy and Derridean deconstruction, this method uncovers in Aristotle the most vital originating articulations of the Western tradition and gives us the means to confront it. Sean D. Kirkland argues this is not a rejection of the past but a sophisticated and indeed timely hermeneutic tool—a complex, illuminating, and powerful method for interpreting historical texts at our present moment. Acknowledging the historical Heidegger as a politically compromised and still divisive figure, Kirkland demonstrates that Heideggerian destruction is a method of interpreting history that enables us to reorient and indeed transform its own most troubling legacies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55403502961014,"sku":"9780810146181","price":27.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_35677642_7928230e-bcd0-42f7-97cc-c301c4ead37f.jpg?v=1755122015","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780810146181-heidegger-the-destruction-of","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
