"This book makes explicit the ecological implications of Martin Heidegger. It examines how the trajectory of Heidegger’s thinking harbors an ""ecological turn,"" which comes to the forefront in his attempt to anticipate the impending crisis precipitated by modern technology.

Schalow’s emphasis on such key motifs as stewardship, dwelling, and ""letting be"" (Gelassenheit) serves to coalesce the problem of freedom in a new and innovative way, in order to expand the interpretive or hermeneutic horizon for re-examining Heidegger’s philosophy. By prioritizing a response to today’s environmental crisis and the possible impact upon future generations, the author traverses a divide within Heidegger scholarship by developing a deeper, critical outlook on his philosophy—without either reiterating standard interpretations or rejecting them wholesale. He develops a trans-human approach to ethics, which, by prioritizing the welfare of the earth, nature, and animals, counters the anthropocentric bias and destructive premise of modern technology.

Heidegger’s Ecological Turn will be of interest to Heidegger scholars and researchers working in phenomenology, hermeneutics, continental philosophy, and environmental philosophy."

"""Frank Schalow’s study on the ‘unthought’ implications of Heidegger’s thinking for reopening the question of the political is an essential reference for any philosophical reflection on a future ethos for humanity."" – Ivo De Gennaro, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy"
