BOOK REVIEW: The “Inversion” of Life: Hongjian Wang, “Ontologie der Praxis bei Martin Heidegger”, LIT Verlag 2020

Abstract

Although the book focuses mainly on the early Heideggerian discourse in the 1920s, the author’s problematic is close to our present time: how to overcome the metaphysicalization and technologicalization of modern life and the resulting nihilistic crisis. To this end, the author expounds on the early Heideggerian “ontology of practice” and in this way leads to a reflection on the post-Heideggerian philosophy of practice.
