Heidegger and ethics is a contentious conjunction of terms. Martin Heidegger himself rejected the notion of ethics, while his endorsement of Nazism is widely seen as unethical. This major new study examines the complex and controversial issues involved in bringing them together.

By working backwards through his work, from his 1964 claim that philosophy has been completed to Being and Time, his first major work, Joanna Hodge questions Heidegger's denial that his enquires were concerned with ethics. She discovers a form of ethics in Heidegger's thinking which elucidates his important distinction between metaphysics and philosophy. Against many contemporary views, she proposes therefore that ethics can be retrieved and questions the relation between ethics and metaphysics that Heidegger had made so pervasive.

Industry Reviews

"This is a thought-provoking work which makes an important contribution to Heidegger studies. It will stimulate debate about the nature and possibility of ethical thinking and engagement in our postmodern times."-Keith Ansell-Pearson, University of Warwick "Joanna Hodge has written a book that does not present Heidegerrian ethics so much as a heidegerrian foundation for ethics with ethical ramifications. To her credit, she confronts Heidegger's personal failings in the political realm head on and makes no effort to minimize them.."-" The Canadian Catholic Review "What resources does the Heideggerian corpus offer us for thinking about ethics? In a timely retrieval of Heidegger's philosophy, Joanna Hodge pursues this question . . . Hodge's approach neither allows Heidegger to dictate the terms of the debate, nor refuses to learn form Heidegger where his texts offer the promise of ethical thinking."-Tina Chanter, Memphis State University
