Reviews

"This book offers nuanced readings from a range of texts important to the continental philosophical tradition. David Farrell Krell is an established and brilliant voice in the field, and the individual chapters reflect a lifetime of reflection, a history of successive interpretations, and a philosophical depth and humanity that are difficult to find today." — Julia Ireland, cotranslator of Martin Heidegger's Hölderlin's Hymn "Remembrance"
