Review

“Michael Zimmerman’s Eclipse of the Self is a Heidegger study that is remarkable for its strong scholarly foundations, its newness of approach, and—thanks to exceptional clarity of style—its accessibility to a broad reading public.”

-- Michael Haar, Maire-Assistant, Université de Paris-Sorbonne

“Zimmerman’s book ... certainly offers an indispensable point of departure for anyone wishing to study the role of authenticity, resp. inauthenticity, in Heidegger’s thought; it is to be recommended on account of erudition and eminent readability.”

-- A. Lichtigfeld, Tijdschrift Voor Filosofie

“This book deserves praise for its challenging presentation of Heidegger’s ideas, and because it is a thoughtful and independent contribution to that larger dialogue”

-- David A. Kolb, Bates College, Canadian Philosophical Reviews
