Macomber, William B. The anatomy of disillusion: Martin Heidegger's notion of truth. Evanston: Northwestern University Press, 1967, xvi, 227pp., very good dust-jacket, good red cloth, some foxing on foredges and covers. Northwestern University studies in phenomenology & existential philosophy. - In Heidegger's view, the meaning of truth is the central question of the twentieth century, for it is here that the ancient concern for metaphysics and the modern concern for epistemology meet. Starting with a phenomenological analysis of the instrument and its essentially inconspicuous character (the true character and usefulness of a hammer are unnoticed until it is broken), Professor Macomber organizes Heidegger's thought around the paradigm of the broken hammer in order to portray truth - the Greek aletheia, or "unhiddenness" - as the wresting of being from the obscurity produced by familiarity. Against the widely held view that there is a break in Heidegger's thinking between Being and Time (1926) and his later, predominantly historical, works, the author argues that the two parts of Heidegger's philosophy complement and reinforce each other. The description of immediate experience in the first half of Being and Time is thus not discontinuous with the later studies, in which Heidegger probes the writings of great philosophers in search of an inner conflict which drives each to an insight into the heart of being, an insight that is both reflected in and concealed by the outward complexity of his thought. In the writings of the great philosophers, who treat of man's ultimate concern, "nature loves to hide." Professor Macomber thus finds a unity in Heidegger's thinking which has thus far been overlooked.
