Daoist resonances in heidegger

Daoist Resonances in Heidegger

2022

Overview

This exploration delves into the resonance of East Asian imagery within Martin Heidegger's philosophical writings. It investigates the connections between Daoism and Heidegger's thought, considering his repeated engagement with the Daodejing and Zhuangzi. Scholars examine the extent to which Heidegger adopted Daoism's core doctrines and how this influence provided him with new perspectives, concepts, and meanings for his inquiry into the nature of being. The book explores themes such as the environment, language, death, temporality, aesthetics, and race through the lens of Daoist concepts like groundlessness, non-being, oneness, and the Way.
