Distinguished philosopher Rosen (Penn State U. ) presents a fresh interpretation of metaphysics that opposes the traditional doctrines attacked by Heidegger, on the one hand, and by contemporary philosophers influenced by Heidegger, on the other hand. Rosen refutes Heidegger's claim that metaphysics is derived from the Aristotelian science of being as being. He argues instead that metaphysics is simply a commonsense reflection on the nature of ordinary experience and on standards for living a better life. This book is a careful, profoundly original discussion of Heidegger's misunderstanding of Plato and how it fundamentally colored the rest of his thinking. In order to clarify where Heidegger went wrong Rosen deems it necessary to embark on lengthy, difficult discussions of Plato, Aristotle, Kant, and Nietzsche. The tone of the book is not so much polemical as exegetical, and it is studded with Rosen's subtle humor. ; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; xxiii, 344 pages.
