Heidegger and Death: A Critical Evaluation

by Paul Edwards

"This monograph is written with admirable lucidity and delightful wit. In using humor as a weapon in philosophical argument it is beautifully in the Russellian tradition. The arguments appear to be devastating. Defenders of Heidegger will have a hard time trying to answer it." --J.C.C. Smart, Professor of Philosophy, The Australian National University

Perhaps the most superficial and facial discussion of Heidegger I have ever read. This author utterly, and at times seemingly willfully, misunderstands Heidegger's central concept of death. Ultimately, this 'article' is nothing more than a 60-page strawman argument. The person who wrote it clearly has no business doing so as they do not understand the first thing about Heidegger's Philosophy. Read at your peril.
