Abstract

look upon Heidegger’s ruins in search of signs of lost wisdom? Are we to seek the cause of their fall? Are we to look upon them, like the feet of Ozymandias, as a warning to overmighty philosophers? Are we to cannibalize the ruins to build something else? Or, if nothing else, should we simply use them for target practice? Wolin leaves us in suspense. Heidegger in Ruins is, ultimately, an effective piece of counter-apologetics, one that will arm any critic of Heidegger’s defenders with new, effective weapons but will not greatly satisfy those who hope for substantial engagement with the ambiguities of Heidegger’s thought.
