{"product_id":"9781009570558","title":"Heidegger on Poetic Thinking by Charles Bambach","description":"One of the striking features of Heidegger's philosophical engagement concerns his privileging of poetry and poetic thinking. In this understanding of language as fundamentally poetic, Heidegger puts forward a different way to do philosophy. In this Element, the author places Heidegger's poetic thinking in conversation with Sophocles and H?lderlin as a way to situate his critique of global technology and instrumental thinking in the postwar years. This Element also offers a critique of Heidegger's efforts to arrogate poetic thinking to his own aim of a destinal form of German national self-assertion through poetry. Overall, the aim here is to show how crucial poetic thinking is to the way Heidegger understands philosophy as a radical engagement with language.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295738573173,"sku":"9781009570558","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781009570558","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
