Reviews
Heidegger was the first major German philosopher since the time of Herder not to celebrate the poetic genius of Shakespeare. Yet as Andy Amato brilliantly demonstrates, there are important parallels between Shakespeare's plays and Heidegger's ways of thinking. -- Andrew Cutrofello, Professor of Philosophy, Loyola University, USA
Elegantly written, fastidiously developed and cogently argued, Amato preforms an expressive enactment of the intimate, needful relation between philosophy and the poetic for the birth of new ideas and the envisioning of an ethical world. This book illuminates how we can be transformed by opening to the embrace of language. It is as an incisive philosophical commentary, contributing clarity to essential philosophical questions and Heideggerian motifs. Amato restores passion to language and philosophy. -- Janae Sholtz, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Alvernia University, USA
