<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Graduate School with Heidegger is a non-technical introduction to the twentieth century's most influential and difficult philosopher. It explains essential concepts like phenomenology, metaphysics, nihilism, and Being, relates Heidegger to Nietzsche, Husserl, and Evola, and explores the roots of his nationalist and ecological politics.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Greg Johnson's <em>Graduate School with Heidegger</em> is unique in the vast literature on Heidegger. Written by a self-proclaimed "failed academic" for intelligent laymen, these essays and lectures serve as a non-systematic, non-technical introduction to the twentieth century's most influential and difficult philosopher.</p><p><br></p><p>Johnson explains essential concepts like phenomenology, metaphysics, and nihilism. He defines technical terms like Being, the clearing, and the event. He discusses Heidegger's relationships to Nietzsche, Husserl, and Evola. He explores the roots of Heidegger's nationalist and ecological politics. He responds to the Heidegger interpretations of Thomas Sheehan, Richard Polt, Ronald Beiner, Alexander Dugin, John Caputo, and Richard Rorty. Finally, he recommends Heidegger's many lecture courses as a graduate-level education in philosophy, free of the staggering cost and stifling conformity of contemporary academia. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Greg Johnson hopes Heidegger someday 'finds a popularizer with the literary talent and penetrating insight of Alan Watts.' Johnson is being far too modest, for these essays do indeed exhibit a Watts-like combination of clarity, simplicity, and depth. But Johnson is no mere popularizer. He also makes an important contribution to Heidegger scholarship by showing that Heidegger's ethnic nationalism is grounded in his philosophy and that Heidegger's later thought is the template for the European New Right." -Collin Cleary, author of <em>What is a Rune? </em>and<em> Summoning the Gods</em> </p><p><br></p><p>"All sorts of readers will appreciate Greg Johnson's lively, unpretentious, and accessible presentations of Heidegger's thought. Johnson gives due credit to the best academic commentators on Heidegger. But there is one <em>decisive</em> respect in which Johnson departs from mainstream scholars and proves to be a <em>far superior </em>guide to Heidegger's thought: his bold, open-minded, and honest treatment of all matters related to Heidegger's politics."-Anonymous Heidegger Scholar, from the Foreword</p><p><br></p><p>"A dangerous mind"-Ronald Beiner, author of <em>Dangerous Minds: Nietzsche, Heidegger, & the Return of the Far Right</em></p><br>
