Intimations of morality : time, truth and finitude in Heidegger's Thinking of Being.

"David Krell, already known as the outstanding translator of Heidegger into English, author of a number of excellent scholarly presentations of translated volumes-notably Heidegger's Neitzsche-offers us here a solid collection of brilliant essays. . . . I heartily commend this fine book to to its readers. It is a book both lyrical and witzig with a humor inspired (in part) by Jacques Derrida. An authentic knowing permeates it-the kind of knowledge that prolonged acquaintance with the `matter' of thought alone can give."-Michael Haar, Les Etudes Philosophiques "An impassioned book, an excellent book, a book to be read and reread."-Pierre Trotignon, Revue Philosophique de la France et de L'Etranger "We can feel the exhilaration that runs through this book as it focuses again and again on the mortal ecstasies of time. . . . We can also feel the anxiety of this book, one that always touched with a sorrow that accompanies the mingling of death and deep love. Exhilaration and sorrow, and the combination of painstaking scholarly work with exceptional poetic sensitivity, are the hallmarks of the essays."-Charles Scott, Research in Phenomenology
