Heidegger's Philosophy and Theories of the Self

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the complexities of selfhood, this book defends a Heideggarian perspective while critically analyzing traditional theories from philosophers like Descartes, Hume, and Sartre. It delves into two central philosophical issues: the nature of knowledge and identity. Mitchell contends that Heidegger's views mirror Stirner's concept of empty egoism, leading to a stark vision of individual heroism. Through this examination, the work challenges established Western philosophical thought and redefines what it means to be human.
