Heidegger and Contemporary Philosophy

This text illuminates the relevance and importance of Heidegger's thought today. The chapters address the modern living conditions of intense social transformation intertwined with the continuous and rapid development of technologies that redefine the borders between nations and cultures. Technology globalizes markets, customs, the exchange of information, and economic flows but also as Heidegger reminds us revolutionizes the way we relate to bodies, to life, and to earth, by way of introducing both unprecedented opportunities and great dangers.

The volume show how much Heidegger's thought constitutes an extraordinarily rich source of suggestions to orient ourselves amidst the most urgent contemporary challenges about Technology, Living, Society & Science. Heidegger foresaw them and identified their actual importance
