Given the significance of Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre individually and of the philosophical relation between them, it is remarkable that no full-scale comparative study of them has been written. Their philosophical relation is an important problem, partly because of the considerable influence of Heidegger on Sartre, and partly because of their critiques of each other.
Stressing their common philosophical inheritance, Heidegger and Sartre seeks to show how and why their responses to that inheritance differ, and how and why both are led to conclude that their early thought had failed to appreciate fully its indebtedness to the "place" or context in which that thinking had occurred. Joseph P. Fell regards Heidegger's and Sartre's conceptions of Being and Place as the proper criteria for assessing their relation to each other, as well as to the movements of thought with which they have been associated nihilism, phenomenology, and existentialism. These conceptions of Being and its context are shown to be linked to divergent views about the nature of thinking, language, history, value, and metaphysics.
Going beyond Heidegger's and Sartre's mutual criticisms, Fell achieves a direct and critical confrontation between their positions and concludes with an estimate of the legacy of this confrontation for future philosophy.
Joseph P. Fell is professor and head of the department of philosophy at Bucknell University. He is the author of Emotion in the Thought of Sartre (Columbia University Press, 1965) and of a number of articles on phenomenology, existentialism, and philosophical psychology.
