Abstract

The title of Burt Hopkins' book may not be such as to capture the reader, for the two names put side by side have each lost some of their former lustre. Husserl is long outmoded to many (though not perhaps to the readers of Husserl Studies!), and for others Heidegger's status as transcendent sage fits poorly with his actions as col- laborator with one of the political demons of the twentieth century - and that from all-too-human motives. The title, however, names a theoretical issue in the joining of the two names, and that determines how the book must be read
