First, however, if Western philosophy is our inheritance, we must submit it to Destruktion —starting with Aristotle. Heidegger and the Destruction of On How to Read the Tradition presents a new conception of Heidegger’s “destruction” as a way of reading. Situated between Nietzschean genealogy and Derridean deconstruction, this method uncovers in Aristotle the most vital originating articulations of the Western tradition and giv ..read more
