Engaging Heidegger

‘Capobianco provides a much needed clarification of the development of Heidegger's thought … It is a valuable contribution to scholarship concerned with Heidegger's differing approaches to the question of Being as well as to the development of his concept of Lichtung.’ Andrew Ryder,Studies in Social and Political Thought, vol. 18:winter 2010

‘[Engaging Heidegger] is refreshing for its clarity and scholarly precision … I am sure that others will join me in looking forward to further stimulating and illuminating reflections on Heidegger by this careful scholar and insightful thinker.’ Bret W. Davis, Notre Dame Philosophical Review

‘Richard Capobianco’s impressive book tackles some fundamental questions in Heidegger’s thought, and does so in a remarkably clear and pointed manner…Engaging Heidegger is highly illuminating and provocative.’ Lawrence J. Hatab, Gatherings: the Heidegger Circle Annual: vol 1:2011

'Capobianco's book, Engaging Heidegger, is an example of the best type of scholarship in Heidegger studies... His perceptive eye for nuanced and cautious, close and historical reading allows the author to avoid any deceptions inherent in large scale narratives about the development of any philosopher's thought.' William Koch, Human Studies; vol 34:02:2011

‘Capobianco’s work is fittingly titled, for it is indeed an engaging treatment of Heidegger. It is furthermore a very fine piece of scholarship that argues for some important claims about Heidegger, with solid grounding in Heidegger’s texts and through command of the literature on Heidegger.’
Richard Velkley, Research in Phenomenology vol 41:2011

'Engaging Heidegger is truly a pleasure to read. With impeccable scholarship and remarkable lucidity, Richard Capobianco combines an appreciation of Heidegger's speculative depth with an evaluation that evinces solid common sense and a thoughtful, humane outlook.' Richard Velkley, Department of Philosophy, Tulane University
