..."makes a significant contribution to the growing body of work
that explores the intellectual connections between early
twentieth-century German philosophers and Chinese classical texts
on the one side and contemporary Japanese philosophers on the
other... May's meticulous intertextual study and comparative
reading of Heidegger, ... not only traces Taoist influences in
Heidegger's work, but, furthermore, encourages contemporary
scholarship to acknowledge the indebtness of European philosophy to
non-European sources... The tension created by Heidegger's seeming
loyality to the Greco-European tradition and his silent
indebtedness to Chinese and, as Graham Parkes has argued
convincingly, Japanese sources encourages a rethinking of the
philosophical canon and the traditional delineation of
philosophical traditions."
-Gereon Kopf, "Philosophy East & West, January 2001
"At the same time as Heidegger was reaffirming the singularity of
the Western metaphysical tradition, he was quietly trading on the
side with the East, as did so many of his predecessors. With Graham
Parkes splendid translation and introduction of Reinhard May's
remarkable book, our understanding of Heidegger will never be quite
the same again."
-David Wood, Vanderbilt University
