In Thinking through French Philosophy, Leonard Lawlor shows how the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty formed an important current in sustaining the development of str...(展开全部)

人类的关系始于施与受，而施与受又开启了我们的清白与罪疚的经验。这是因为，一方带着期待而付出，接受的一方则感觉自己背负着回报的义务。一方带着期待，另一方则感受到义务，如此一来，造就了每一段关系中的罪疚与清白，也使付出与接受的两方交换位置；除非最终的施与受达到平衡，否则无论是付出或接受的一方，都不会满意。这意味着接受的一方将有机会付出，而付出的一方也必须能够接受。 无论快乐与否，当我们接受了别人的礼物，我们也失去了独立与清白。当我们接受时，会觉得对给予者有所亏欠，我们会因亏欠而感到不舒服，并且努力回报以使自己释放这样的压力。每一份礼物背后，都有这样的代价。另一方面，当我们不求回报地给予某人或是付出大于回报时，通常会以愉悦的方式经验到清白感，也就是当我们不亏欠任何人、无所求或没有得到任何赠予时，我们通常会有轻松而自由的愉悦感。 当施与受能够平衡，我们才能经...(展开全部)

Editorial Reviews Product Description "The heart of history, for Heidegger, is not a sequence of occurrences but the eruption of significance at critical junctures that bring us into our own by making all being, including our being, into an urgent issue. In emergency, being emerges."—from The Emergency of Being The esoteric Contributions to Philosophy, often considered Martin H...(展开全部)

An unknown painter becomes an overnight sensation when his paintings imitate life too well by quacking, crawling, and erupting all over Paris.

In his early lecture courses, Martin Heidegger exhibited an abiding interest in human life. He believed that human life has philosophical import while it is actually being lived; language has philosophical import while it is being spoken. In this book, Scott Campbell traces the development of Heidegger's ideas about factical life through his interest in Greek thought and its co...(展开全部)
