Heidegger in America is a case study in the recent history of transnational intellectual and cultural exchange. It suggests that the reception and dissemination of Heidegger's philosophical writings transformed the intellectual culture of the United States at a time when American influence was itself transforming the world.
'? an important and captivating study in which life stories and the stories of ideas are presented in a balanced and fair manner. It presents not only the complex influence of a controversial philosopher but traces his central ideas and shows how, where, when and why they arose and how they have evolved in different contexts in American society.' Theodor Damian, The European Legacy
