Re-Introducing Heidegger by Ranhilio Aquino

“…The author has dared it nonetheless because approaching Heidegger from his work on language offers us a different perspective – and, what the writer believes, is a more nuanced appreciation of this landmark in contemporary philosophy. The kehre has been exaggerated, to the author’s mind, and while the author does acknowledge that there is room for distinguishing between an earlier and a later Heidegger, he has been more keen about the continuity in Heidegger’s thought. …”

“…The Metaphysical Madness of the Epoch - The author deals with the analysis of writing as the thinking of the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa, who belongs to the most significant artists of the 20th century, although his influence is only nowadays gaining the deserved world reception not only in the field of literary theory and poetry, but also of contemporary philosophy.
