Broschiertes Buch

Form and Object

A Treatise on Things

Übersetzer: Ohm, Mark Allan; Cogburn, Jon

Beschreibung

What is a thing? What is an object? The author decisively overturns 100 years of Heideggerian orthodoxy about the supposed derivative nature of objects and in so doing provides deep insights about the world and our place in it.
