Heidegger's Conception of Freedom - Beyond Cause and Effect

This book is the first monograph in English exclusively dedicated to the exegesis of Martin Heidegger's radical conception of freedom which was developed in response to the human experience of existential guilt and mortality explained through the phenomena of transcendence and truth.
The book is additionally distinctive in that it is the first to approach these issues with the purpose of clarifying the texts involved rather than constructing a novel conception of agency or freedom on the basis of those texts. 
Heidegger's Conception of Freedom is ideal for scholars and researchers of philosophy and especially for those focusing on Heidegger's thought, existentialism and phenomenology.
