From Schelling to Nietzsche and back again. That is the path indicated by Heidegger and retraced in an original way by Corriero, who in this book masterfully reconstructs the suggestive affinities between Heidegger's Event and Schelling's Absolute.

This important study turns to the late Schelling's “positive philosophy” to cast new light on Heidegger's own path of thinking, especially his turn to das Ereignis (the event). It is a significant development in our appreciation of Heidegger and it also demonstrates the continuing importance of the rediscovery of Schelling as one of the most indispensable of the early Continental thinkers.

This book is clearly the richest account of Heidegger's appropriation of Schelling's philosophizing yet written. In an important contribution to this century's Schellingian revival, Corriero, a subtle master of the history of modern thought, compellingly argues that Schelling's persistent reconception of nature presciently provides contemporary metaphysics with the ontogenetic means to survive the ruins of ontology over which Heidegger has for so long presided.
