Metaphysics and Oppression : Heidegger's Challenge to Western Philosophy Paperback / softback
by John McCumber
Part of the Studies in Continental Thought series
Paperback / softback
Description
"In this stunning philosophical accomplishment, McCumber sheds important new light on the history of substance metaphysics and Heidegger's challenge to metaphysical thinking. . . . Well-documented, brilliant, definitely a major contribution to philosophy!" —ChoiceIn this compelling work, John McCumber unfolds a history of Western metaphysics that is also a history of the legitimation of oppression.
That is, until Heidegger. But Heidegger himself did not see how his conception of metaphysics opened doors to challenge the domination encoded in structures and institutions—such as slavery, colonialism, and marriage—that in the past have given order to the Western world.
