In Heidegger's Being: The Shimmering Unfolding, the eminent Heidegger scholar Richard Capobianco draws on many new texts and sources to highlight in fresh ways the beauty and spiritual resonance of Martin Heidegger's thinking about Being.


As in his earlier books, Capobianco offers a meditative path through Heidegger's thought. He illuminates major motifs that are overlooked or set aside by most contemporary readings of Heidegger, amplifying these motifs in an original, heartfelt, and eloquent way. The book also offers a series of reflections that bring Heidegger's thinking into close proximity to other thinkers and poets, including Alfred North Whitehead, C.G. Jung, Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, and Rumi.


Heidegger's Being: The Shimmering Unfolding is intended not only for dedicated students of Heidegger's work but also for engaged general readers who wish to come to a deeper appreciation of his distinctive vision of Being.
