<p>"Kleinberg-Levin's in-depth, ethically focused contemporary engagement with Heidegger underscores the importance of embodiment as well as the openness and universal interconnectedness of human existence." — Véronique M. Fóti, author of <i>Vision's Invisibles: Philosophical Exploration</i></p>

Original reading of Heidegger suggesting what his project could mean for building an ethical way of life now and in the future.

In these boldly original studies, Heidegger's thought is carried critically and constructively beyond its original limitations, re-presenting his project in terms of an emerging body of understanding, making sense of this project not only in its historical, cultural significance but also in its bearing on the emergence of future possibilities. Continuing Heidegger's commitment to a way of thinking that is formed from reflectively lived experience, David Michael Kleinberg-Levin suggests what can be learned regarding the character of our typical and habitual ways of looking and seeing, hearing and listening, and touching, holding, handling, and gesturing. The body of ontological understanding consequently emerges as we learn how to take responsibility for the meaning of being in forming and developing the character of our relationship to all the beings in our world. In this original reading of Heidegger's thought, Kleinberg-Levin suggests what his project could mean for an ethical way of life.
