'Sonia Sikka offers a holistic vision of Heidegger's entree into the moral and political realms in a way that counters the piecemeal and even polemical caricatures that are frequently presented. She succeeds in confronting the difficult and controversial issues surrounding Heidegger's involvement in National Socialism and the recent revelations of anti-Semitic remarks in his Black Notebooks. Her book is an indispensable resource which will prove to be rewarding for students and scholars alike.' Frank Schalow, University of New Orleans 'Presenting itself as 'an exegesis and friendly critique of Martin Heidegger's moral and political philosophy' ... this book is more than that: it is also a thought-provoking statement of Sikka's own position, a Heidegger-inflected moral realism. Free of the partisanship that mars so much of the Heidegger literature, the book demonstrates an admirable command of both the primary and the secondary literature, as also of such thinkers as Herder, Kant, Fichte, Schelling, and Nietzsche.'
