Heidegger on Being Self-Concealing

Auteur
Katherine Withy is Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Georgetown University in Washington DC, where she has worked since 2009. Her first book, Heidegger on Being Uncanny, was published by Harvard University Press in 2015, and she has published articles and chapters in numerous journals and collections. Withy's research focuses on the nature of finitude in Heidegger's thought (including moods, concealing and concealment, and world collapse), as well as on Heidegger's interpretations of ancient Greek philosophy.

Texte du rabat

What is Heidegger talking about when he says that being conceals itself? This is the first study to systematically address that question. Withy sorts the phenomena of concealing and concealment that Heidegger discusses into a highly structured taxonomy, thereby clarifying Heidegger's notoriously difficult discussions of being as self-concealing.
