<p>In <em>Heidegger’s Way of Being</em>, the follow-up to his 2010 book, <em>Engaging Heidegger</em>, Richard Capobianco makes the case clearly and compellingly that the core matter of Heidegger’s lifetime of thought was Being as the temporal emergence of all beings and things. Drawing upon a wide variety of texts, many of which have been previously untranslated, Capobianco illuminates the overarching importance of Being as radiant manifestation – “the truth of Being” – and how Heidegger also named and elucidated this fundamental phenomenon as <em>physis </em>(Nature), <em>Aletheia</em>, the primordial <em>Logos</em>, and as <em>Ereignis</em>, <em>Lichtung</em>, and <em>Es gibt</em>.</p><p><em>Heidegger’s Way of Being</em> brings back into full view the originality and distinctiveness of Heidegger’s thought and offers an emphatic rejoinder to certain more recent readings, and particularly those that propose a reduction of Being to “sense” or “meaning” and maintain that the core matter is human meaning-making. Capobianco’s vivid and often poetic reflections serve to evoke for readers the very experience of Being – or as he prefers to name it, the Being-way – and to invite us to pause and meditate on the manner of our human way in relation to the Being-way.</p>
