The presence of Heidegger is so insistent that sooner or later we want to find out more about this controversial figure. But where to start? His most famous work, 'Being and Time,' is notoriously unapproachable by the unprepared, but where can we find a really good Introduction to the man and his main ideas? After tackling several well-known Introductory studies, and quickly abandoning them as just too dry and boring, I finally discovered George Steiner's short study.
What a joy it was to read Steiner! I'm one of those compulsive scribblers who always read pencil in hand, ready to annotate significant and memorable passages to make sure I'll be able to find them when I want to return and re-read them, and after a single reading pretty well every page was marked.
Steiner has a beautifully lucid style, and he writes with real passion. After a 28-page Introduction, 'Heidegger: In 1991,' and an 'In Place of a Foreword,' three Chapters follow : 1. 'Some Basic Terms;' 2. 'Being and Time;' 3. 'The Presence of Heidegger.' The book is rounded out with a Biographical Note, a useful Short Bibliography, and an Index.
Steiner throughout shows great skill in actually making us feel the movements of Heidegger's thought as it flows along totally unexpected and amazing paths, and one is left wondering what heights Western thought might have risen to if it had stayed true to its original impulse. It would seem that, for Heidegger, thought was not mere ratiocination, but something more akin to devotion, a devotion we come to share.
Here are a few lines from the book : "We are trying "to listen to the voice of Being"" (p.32); "Art is not, as in Plato and Cartesian realism, an imitation of the real. It is the more real" (p.136); "Creation _should be_ custody; a human construction _should be_ the elicitation and housing of the great springs of being" (p.136); "Man has labored and thought not with but against the grain of things. He has not given lodging to the forces and creatures of the natural world but made them homeless" (p.136); "... the Heideggerian asker lays himself open to that which is being questioned and becomes ... the permeable space of its disclosure" (p.55); "The earth, says Heidegger, must once again be made a _Spielraum_, literally, a space in which to play" (p.149). These are truly luminous thoughts, and the book is full of them.
I'm not sure what specialists may think of this book, but as a non-specialist I found it a very exciting book to read, and one that left me eager to know more. Steiner's study strikes me as what must be one of the best possible introductions to Heidegger for the ordinary reader.
