Routledge Heidegger's Shadow: Kant, Husserl, and Transcendentalism

Heidegger's Shadow offers a deep look into the complex relationship between Martin Heidegger and transcendental philosophy. This work explores how Heidegger viewed transcendental philosophy as a necessary starting point for his own thought, even as he worked to move beyond its traditional limits. Engelland examines the tension in Heidegger's approach, noting that while he sought to overcome these philosophical foundations, he recognized that such an attempt is never fully complete. This book provides a clear path through the development of his ideas by analyzing his engagement with major philosophical texts. By studying works such as Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics, Being and Time, and Contributions, readers gain a better understanding of the progression of Heidegger's thought. This volume is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the history of Western philosophy and the evolution of twentieth-century thought.
