Fourfold - Reading the Late Heidegger

Heidegger's later thought is a thinking of things, so argues Andrew J. Mitchell in The Fourfold. Heidegger understands these things in terms of what he names "the fourfold” - a convergence of relationships bringing together the earth, the sky, divinities, and mortals. Mitchell's book is the first detailed exegesis of this neglected aspect of Heidegger's later thought.
