The Unthought Debt: Heidegger and the Hebraic Heritage (Cultural Memory in the Present) - Softcover

"The Unthought Debt is an insightful and provocative work whose nuanced and far-reaching argument is sure to generate among English readers significant new discussion surrounding an already much explored topic-that of the relation between Martin Heidegger's philosophy and the traditions of Western religious thought. Zarader's study sheds important light on the significance of religious thought in Heidegger, and it does so in a way that challenges, complements, and advances scholarship already existing in English on the issue." -- Thomas A. Carlson, University of California * Santa Barbara *

Drawing on Heidegger's corpus, the work of historians and biblical specialists, and contemporary philosophers like Levinas and Derrida, Zarader brings to light the evolution of an impensé-or unthought thought-that bespeaks a complex debt at the core of Heidegger's hermeneutic ontology.
