xvi, 182 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.One of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century, Martin Heidegger was primarily concerned with the 'question of Being.' However, recent scholarship has tended to marginalize the importance of the name of Being in his thought. Through a focused reading of Heidegger's texts, and especially his late and often overlooked Four Seminars (1966-1973), Richard Capobianco counters this trend by redirecting attention to the centrality of the name of Being in Heidegger's lifetime of thought. Capobianco gives special attention to Heidegger's resonant terms Ereignis and Lichtung and reads them as saying and showing the very same fundamental phenomenon named 'Being itself'. Written in a clear and approachable manner, the essays in Engaging Heidegger examine Heidegger's thought in view of ancient Greek, medieval, and Eastern thinking, and they draw out the deeply humane character of his 'meditative thinking.' Capobianco is a professor and chair in the Department of Philosophy at Stonehill College. William J. Richardson has been recognized for decades as one of the foremost Heidegger scholars in the world. He is a professor of philosophy at Boston College.Introduction -- The fate of being -- Ereignis: (only) another name for being itself -- The turn towards home -- From angst to astonishment -- Lichtung: the early lighting -- Plato's light and the phenomenon of the clearing -- Building: centring, decentring, recentring -- Limit and transgression.Richard Capobianco ; foreword by William J.
