Devoting particular attention to Heidegger'sphilosophy of religion in the turbulent aftermath of World War I, Crowe showsHeidegger tightening his focus and searching his philosophical practice for ideas onhow one cultivates an "authentic" life beyond the "destruction"of Europe. This penetrating work reveals Heidegger wrestling and coming to gripswith his religious upbringing, his theological education, and his religiousconvictions. While developing Heidegger's notion of destruction up to thepublication of Being and Time, Crowe advances a new way to think about therelationship between destruction and authenticity that confirms the continuingimportance of Heidegger's early theological training.
