In this important new book, leading Heidegger scholar William NcNeill provides a concise and systematic appraisal of the fate of phenomenology in Heidegger. He shows how the issue of "letting be" is already central and prominent in Heidegger's early phenomenology and examines Heidegger's phenomenological approach in relation to art and poetry.

William McNeill is Professor of Philosophy at DePaul University. He is the author of The Glance of the Eye: Heidegger, Aristotle, and the Ends of Theory (SUNY 1999) and The Time of Life: Heidegger and Ethos (SUNY, 2006) and has translated several of Heidegger's works into English.
