内容简介
The Early Heidegger and Medieval Philosophy is a major interpretive study of Heidegger's comple x relationship to the medieval tradition. S.J. McGrath's contribution is historical and biographical as well as philosophical, ex a mi ning how the enthusiastic defender of the Aristotelian-Scholastic tradition became the great destroyer of metaphysical theology. This book pro vides an info rmative and comprehensive examination of Heidegger's changing app roach to medieval sources--from the se minary studies of Bo nav enture to the famous phenomenological destructions of medieval ontology. McGrath argues that the mid-point of this dev elopment, and the high point of Heidegger's reading of medieval philosophy, is the widely neglected habilitation thesis on Scotus and speculative grammar. He shows that this neo -Kantian retrieval of phenomenological moments in the metaphysics of Scotus and Thomas of Erfurt marks the beginning of a turn from metaphysics to existential phenomenology. McGrath's care ful hermeneutical reconstruction of this complex trajectory uncovers the roots of Heidegger's critique of ontotheology in a Luther-inspired defection from his largely Scholastic formation. In the end McGrath argues that Heidegger fails to do justice to the spirit of medieval philosophy. The book sheds new light on a long-debated question of the early Heidegger's theological significance. Far from a neutral phenomenology, Heidegger's master work, Being and Time, is shown to be a philosophically questionable overturning of the medieval theological paradigm.
