Abstract

This is the third volume in a series of university lectures at Freiburg published by the author, a long-time assistant and interpreter of Husserl. The lectures are a sustained effort to rethink, amend, and develop themes first discussed by Husserl and Heidegger. In this volume Fink offers a new interpretation of the problems of nothingness and the totality of being. He seeks to avoid the tendency to reify the notion of totality; such reification the author argues is the besetting sin of previous philosophies of being.--D. D. O.
