And he sees in Leibniz the man who  formulated the theorem of our modern age: nothing happens without a  reason. He calls this attitude `calculating thought' and opposes to it  a kind of thought aimed at preserving the essence of things, which he  calls `meditating thought'. Cristin's book ascribes great importance  to this polarity of thinking for the future of contemporary  philosophy, and thus compares the basic ideas of the two thinkers.  Leibniz announces the conquest of reason; Heidegger denounces the  dangers of reason. Their diversity becomes manifest in the difference  between the idea of reason and the image of the path. \u003cbr\u003e  But is Leibniz's thought really only `calculating'? And do we not  perhaps also encounter the traces of reason along Heidegger's path?  With these questions in mind we may begin to redefine the relation  between the two thinkers and between two different conceptions of  reason and philosophy. The hypothesis is advanced that Heidegger's  harsh judgment of Leibniz may be mitigated, but it also becomes clear  that Heidegger's rewriting of the code of reason is an integral part  of our age, in which many signs point to new \u003cem\u003eloci\u003c\/em\u003e of  rationality. \u003cbr\u003e  With his original interpretation, aware of the risks he is taking,  Renato Cristin offers a new guide to the understanding of reason: he  shows forth Leibniz as one who defends the thought of being in the  unity of monadology, and Heidegger as a thinker who preserves the sign  of reason in his meditating thought.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792351375\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-9032-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 136.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481524826252,"sku":"9780792351375","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792351375.jpg?v=1757633253","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792351375","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
