Heidegger’s Philosophic Pedagogy examines how Martin Heidegger conceives and carries out the task of educating human beings in a life determined by philosophic questioning. Through an exposition of recently published lecture courses that Heidegger delivered in the years 1928-1935, his magnum opus, Being and Time, and other key texts, the author shows that the task of education is central to Heidegger’s understanding of philosophy. Michael Ehrmantraut’s study of the aims, necessity, character, method, and limits of Heidegger’s philosophic pedagogy thus opens up the political implications of Heidegger’s thought as he himself understood them.
