American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly review of Heidegger's Eschatology (Gregory Floyd) (original) (raw)

This review examines Judith Wolfe's analysis of Martin Heidegger's early work relating to eschatology and its implications for understanding the development of his philosophy in conjunction with Christian thought. Wolfe argues that Heidegger's conception of eschatology evolves as a functional concept that informs present experience while navigating his complex background, particularly his transition from Catholicism to Lutheranism. The review highlights Wolfe's exploration of Heidegger's religious motivations and the intertwining of his philosophical trajectory with significant theological themes, ultimately contributing to an understanding of both Heidegger’s legacy and the dialogue between philosophy and theology.
