Time and Death: Heideggers Analysis of Finitude

In Time and Death Carol White articulates a vision of Martin Heideggers work which grows out of a new understanding of what he was trying to address in his discussion of death. Acknowledging that the discussion of this issue in Heideggers major work Being and Time is often far from clear, White presents a new interpretation of Heidegger which short-circuits many of the traditional criticisms. Placing the problems with which Heidegger is dealing in the context of issues in contemporary Anglo-American philosophy in order to better locate him for the more mainstream audience, Whites language and approach is able to accommodate the novice but also offers much food for thought for the Heidegger scholar.
