This volume contains the first English translation of their complete correspondence, as well as letters from Heidegger's wife and son and others referred to in their correspondence. It also contains a translation of Jünger's essay Across the Line (Über die Linie), his contribution to a Festschrift celebrating Heidegger's sixtieth birthday. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJünger's and Heidegger's correspondence is of enormous historical interest, revealing how both men came to understand their cultural roles in post-war Europe. It is valuable as well for showing the emergence of themes pervasive in Heidegger's post-war thought: his cultural and political pessimism and his concern with the problem of global technology. The correspondence also reveals the evolution of a philosophical friendship between two writers central to twentieth century European thought, and the mutual influence that friendship worked on their writing.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartin Heidegger (1889-1976) was a German philosopher and one of the most important European thinkers of the twentieth century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eErnst Jünger (1895-1998) was a celebrated German novelist, essayist and philosopher. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTimothy Sean Quinn, the translator, is Professor of Philosophy at Xavier University, USA.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.4 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 11, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50373031690477,"sku":"9781783488766","price":77.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/f_1I4WyWCl9781783488766.webp?v=1785513740","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-ca\/products\/correspondence-1949-1975-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
