Heideggers Ecological Turn

This book makes explicit the ecological implications of Martin Heidegger. It examines how the trajectory of Heidegger's thinking harbors an "ecological turn," which comes to the forefront in his attempt to anticipate the impending crisis precipitated by modern technology.

"Frank Schalow's study on the 'unthought' implications of Heidegger's thinking for reopening the question of the political is an essential reference for any philosophical reflection on a future ethos for humanity." *Ivo De Gennaro, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy
