In doing so, it explains what makes time of such significance for Heidegger and argues that Heidegger can contribute to contemporary debates in the philosophy of time. Time is a central concern for Heidegger, yet his thinking on the subject is fragmented, making it difficult to grasp its depth, complexity, and promise. Heidegger traces out a history that focuses on the conceptualisations of time put forward by Aristotle, Plotinus, Augustine, Kant, Hegel, Bergson, and Husserl – an “alternative history of time” that challenges how time has been defined and studied within both philosophy and the sciences. This book explores what happens when we take seriously Heidegger’s claim that these seven figures are essential to any understanding of time, setting out what this can tell us about existence, possibility, and philosophy as a historical discipline. *Review: * “In *Heidegger’s Alternative History of Time*, Emily Hughes and Marilyn Stendera offer a rich and penetrating account of Heidegger’s destruction of the history of metaphysics and how the forgetting of question of time has resulted in the subsequent forgetting of the question of the meaning of being … The prose stands out as consistently crisp and clear and the historical survey of major figures is thematically coherent and well-organized … It is essential reading, providing an authoritative account of Heidegger’s philosophy of time.” Kevin Aho, *Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences - https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11097-024-10046-3 <https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11097-024-10046-3>* *Dr Emily Hughes *(she/her) ARC Discovery Early Career Research Award (DECRA) Fellow in Philosophy School of Humanities, Faculty of Arts Michael Kirby Building, 17 Wally's Walk Level 2, Room 233 Macquarie University – Wallumattagal Campus, Dharug Country NSW 2109 Australia E: [email protected] W: https://researchers.mq.edu.au/en/persons/emily-hughes *I acknowledge that Macquarie University stands on the land of the Dharug Nation, land that was never ceded.
