Chad Engelland - Heidegger’s shadow : Kant, Husserl, and the transcendental turn

Written with a sure-handed command of Heideggers corpus and the historical context of his thinking, Heideggers Shadow makes a powerful case for its persisting transcendental character. Tightly and lucidly argued, this book is scholarship at its finest, a major contribution to understanding the promise of Heideggers later writings.

Daniel O. Dahlstrom, Boston University, USA, author of Heideggers Concept of Truth

Chad Engellands provocative and carefully researched book is the most sustained treatment to date of the role that transcendental philosophy plays throughout Heideggers path of thinking.

Steven Crowell, Rice University, USA, author of Normativity and Phenomenology in Husserl and Heidegger

Engelland tells an insightful story about the continuity of Heideggers thought while shedding light on many of its essential impulses.

Richard Polt, Xavier University, USA, author of The Emergency of Being: On Heideggers Contributions to Philosophy

With Heideggers Shadow Chad Engelland has given us the best book in any language on the transcendental in Heidegger.

Thomas Sheehan, Stanford University, USA, author of Making Sense of Heidegger: A Paradigm Shift

Heideggers Shadow not only makes a powerful case for the continuing significance of the transcendental (and so also of Kant as well as Husserl) throughout Heideggers thinking, but also shows why the transcendental, even if it is not all that philosophy is, nevertheless remains an essential part of it.

Jeff Malpas, University of Tasmania, Australia, author of Heideggers Topology: Being, Place, World

Heideggers Shadow is an important contribution to the understanding of Heideggers ambivalent relation to transcendental philosophy. Its contention is that Heidegger recognizes the importance of transcendental philosophy as the necessary point of entry to his thought, but he nonetheless comes to regard it as something that he must strive to overcome even though he knows such an attempt can never succeed. Engelland thoroughly engages with major texts such as Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics, Being and Time, and Contributions and traces the progression of Heideggers readings of Kant and Husserl to show that Heidegger cannot abandon his own earlier breakthrough work in transcendental philosophy. This book will be of interest to those working on phenomenology, continental philosophy, and transcendental philosophy.

Chad Engelland is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University Dallas in Irving, Texas. He is the author of Ostension: Word Learning and the Embodied Mind and The Way of Philosophy: An Introduction.

Such a task exceeds even the capacity of a great thinker. It demands nothing less than to leap over ones shadow. No one can do this. Nevertheless, every philosopher must want to do this. This must is his vocation.
