Description
Never-before-published writing from a key twentieth-century philosopher.
In 1962, Reiner Schurmann began studying at the Dominican school of theology Le Saulchoir, outside Paris. That experience radically shaped his life and work, enabling him to begin to develop many of the ideas for which he would later be known: letting be, life without why, ontological anarchy, and the tragic double bind.
Ways of Releasement contains never-before-published material from Schurmann's early period as well as a report Schurmann wrote about his encounter with Heidegger; a precis of his autobiographical novel, Origins; and translations and new editions of later groundbreaking essays. Ways of Releasement concludes with an extensive afterword setting Schurmann's writings in the context of his thinking and life.
