Heidegger´s Atheism: The Refusal of a Theological Voice

This work traces the development of Heidegger´s explanation of philosophy as a methodological atheism, relating it to his reading of Aristotle, Aquinas and Nietzsche. A predominant issue throughout this study is Heidegger´s pursuit of an answer to the question: how did God get into philosophy?Laurence Paul Hemming discusses a wide range of topics in this comprehensive volume, including the influence of Heidegger on theologians like Bultmann, Rahner and Ott; the central themes of "being and time"; Heidegger´s political decisions and involvement with National Socialism; and Jean-Luc Marion´s reading of Heidegger.
