Summary "This important and accessible book is a welcome invitation to return to the unity of Heidegger's thought, and the question of what persists across his oeuvre. Kuravsky reminds us how for Heidegger it is transcending that lies at the basis of the "worlding of world", and how our being-transcended opens the possibility for understanding life itself." --"Laurence Hemming is an Honorary Professor at Lancaster University (UK), and author of Heidegger and Marx: A Productive Dialogue over the Language of Humanism." Kuravsky offers an interesting discussion of the understanding of philosophy itself as "transcendence" in Heidegger and investigates the interlacing of transcendence with temporality, which eventually leads Heidegger to abandon the term and focus on spatio-temporalizing unfolding "of" the event and put the emphasis on the "between."The book persuasively contextualizes Heidegger's early approach to transcendence with regard to neo-Kantianism, especially Rickert and Lask, in order to illustrate why and how Heidegger "evolves" Husserl's phenomenological approach. It is a significant and novel contribution to Heidegger studies: cogent, clear, and yet true to the complexity and nuance of Heidegger's thinking, which is not always easy to achieve in English. --Krzysztof Ziarek, University at Buffalo This book demonstrates how Heidegger's departure from ontotheology occurs initially as a preparation for the concept of Dasein's transcendence and subsequently as its explicit development and overcoming. Dasein's transcendence is revealed as the foundation for the subsequent concept of Beyng as an Event, which stands in contrast to all ontotheological perspectives that assert a singular a priori foundation of the universe attributed to beings, God, consciousness, or even an independent "process" of Being that doesn't rely on Dasein. The book illustrates that transcendence is not an attribute of human consciousness or a connection to something external to it. Instead, as a "primal act," transcendence paves the way for a non-representational dwelling in the essence of a historically unfolding Being, a contemplative recollection of the truth of Beyng. Throughout the book, there is a gradual progression towards an understanding of transcendence as an active engagement, wherein we "do" transcendence. This process involves a reconstruction of the ontological significance of action, emphasizing its performative embeddedness in existence and its inseparability from Beyng. Erik Kuravsky has a PhD. and an MA in Philosophy from the university of Tel Aviv. Currently he is a Minerva Stiftung Post-doc fellow in the University of Erfurt. He has published both on early and late Heidegger as well as on the philosophy of Merab Mamardashvili
