Reviews

"Finally a short note on the book. Ted Sadler's writing is an example to the general reader of how to read philosophical texts slowly, as one reads poems, of the encounter with ‘the art of going slowly [following] Heidegger's conviction that philosophy, genuinely undertaken and carried through, subverts the impatient "hunger for results" so characteristic of the modern age' [x-xi]. Within the world of scholarship this is a classic that will certainly stimulate any future discussion, but on Heidegger's terms." -Francesco Tampoia, Philosophy in Review/ Comptes Rendus Philosophiques, January 2004-June 2004
