'In this brilliant contribution to Heidegger scholarship, Thomas Sheehan presents his view of the entire trajectory of Heideggers philosophizing as a phenomenological investigation of the meaning and source of Being (the'clearing') that which allows entities to show up for us as meaningful. Sheehans assiduously phenomenological interpretation of the Heideggerian corpus lends itself beautifully both to teaching Heidegger and to interdisciplinary inquiry.' (Robert D. Stolorow Ph. D., author of World, Affectivity, Trauma: Heidegger and Post-Cartesian Psychoanalysis).
