In Thinking After Heidegger David Wood takes up the challenge posed byHeidegger that after the end of philosophy we need to learn to think. Butwhat if we read Heidegger with the same respectful irreverence that he broughtto reading the Greeks Kant Hegel Husserl and the others? For Wood it isDerridas engagements with Heidegger that set the standard here enacting arepetition through transformation and displacement. But Wood is not content tocrown the new king. Instead he sets up a manysided conversation betweenHeidegger Hegel Adorno Nietzsche Blanchot Kierkegaard Derrida and others.Derrida and deconstruction are first critically addressed and then drawn intothe fundamental project of philosophical renewal or renewal as philosophy.Thinking after Heidegger will be a valuable text for scholars and students ofcontemporary philosophy literature and cultural studies. «
