Making Sense of Heidegger presents a radically new reading of
Heidegger’s notoriously difficult oeuvre. Clearly written and
rigorously grounded in the whole of Heidegger’s writings, Thomas
Sheehan’s latest book argues for the strict unity of Heidegger’s
thought on the basis of three theses: that his work was
phenomenological from beginning to the end; that “being” refers to
the meaningful presence of things in the world of human concerns; and
that what makes such intelligibility possible is the existential
structure of human being as the thrown-open or appropriated
“clearing.” Sheehan offers a compelling alternative to the
classical paradigm that has dominated Heidegger research over the last
half-century, as well as a valuable retranslation of the key terms in
Heidegger's lexicon. This important book opens a new path in Heidegger
research that will stimulate dialogue not only within Heidegger
studies but also with philosophers outside the phenomenological
tradition and scholars in theology, literary criticism, and
existential psychiatry.
