"Moore's text is a tour de force of the later Heidegger's thinking of being. Moore provides access to much of Heidegger's thinking, sources, and marginalia on Trakl that have heretofore either been unavailable or unavailable in English. Beyond this, he develops trenchant critiques of Heidegger via an engagement with Derridean deconstruction." -- Symposium "One thing will be apparent to any reader of Ian Alexander Moore's Dialogue on the Threshold : this is a singularly impressive work of scholarship Dialogue on the Threshold , in short, is exemplary of what it means to inherit Heidegger critically without either cheap polemic or unconvincing apologetics." -- Research in Phenomenology "This is an extremely impressive book. Full of original insights and meticulous scholarship, as well as new primary source material that is not available elsewhere, Dialogue on the Threshold establishes Moore among the leading Heidegger scholars of his generation." -- Robert Bernasconi, Pennsylvania State University, "...Moore's text is a tour de force of the later Heidegger's thinking of being.

Synopsis
A reconstruction and critical interpretation of Heidegger's remarkable relationship to the poet Georg Trakl., A reconstruction and critical interpretation of Heidegger's remarkable relationship to the poet Georg Trakl. Winner of the 2023 Symposium Book Award presented by Symposium: Canadian Journal of Continental Philosophy In the early 1950s, German philosopher Martin Heidegger proclaimed the Austrian expressionist Georg Trakl to be the poet of his generation and of the hidden Occident. Trakl, a guilt-ridden lyricist who died of a cocaine overdose in the early days of World War I, thus became for Heidegger a redemptive successor to Hölderlin. Drawing on Derrida's Geschlecht series and substantial archival research, Dialogue on the Threshold explores the productive and problematic tensions that pervade Heidegger's reading of Trakl and reflects more broadly on the thresholds that separate philosophy from poetry, gathering from dispersion, the same from the other, and the native from the foreigner. Ian Alexander Moore examines why Heidegger was reluctant to follow Trakl's invitation to cross these thresholds, even though his encounter with the poet did compel him to take up, in astounding ways, many underrepresented topics in his philosophical corpus such as sexual difference, pain, animality, and Christianity. A contribution not just to Heidegger and Trakl studies but also, more modestly, to the old quarrel between philosophy and poetry, Dialogue on the Threshold concludes with new translations of eighteen poems by Trakl.

    Book was "nearly new" and "as described" in listing. The advertised price was fair and a good value. Unfortunately, the seller's shipping partner was very slow to get the book packaged and shipped. Shipping took too long, and the tracking info gave no reliable info on shipping date, time in transit or expected delivery. Seller did everything right, but their shipping partner needs improvement. I recommend this seller to other eBay buyers....... just make sure you're okay with the shipping terms.

    The listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
