This volume contains the first English translation of their complete correspondence, as well as letters from Heidegger’s wife and son and others referred to in their correspondence. It also contains a translation of Jünger’s essay Across the Line (Über die Linie), his contribution to a Festschrift celebrating Heidegger’s sixtieth birthday. Jünger’s and Heidegger’s correspondence is of enormous historical interest, revealing how both men came to understand their cultural roles in post-war Europe. It is valuable as well for showing the emergence of themes pervasive in Heidegger’s post-war thought: his cultural and political pessimism and his concern with the problem of global technology. The correspondence also reveals the evolution of a philosophical friendship between two writers central to twentieth century European thought, and the mutual influence that friendship worked on their writing.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 221mmItem Length: 151mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 299gAuthor: Martin Heidegger, Ernst JüngerTranslator: Timothy Sean QuinnContributor: Timothy Sean Quinn (Translated by)Genre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: New Heidegger ResearchRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
