 Forms
of Transcendence : Heidegger and Medieval Mystical Theology
(SUNY Series in Contemporary Continental Philosophy)
by Sonya Sikka. Unlike some past studies of the relation between
Heidegger and medieval mysticism, this book seeks to establish a
real identity between the content, the subject-matter (Sache),
of the medieval and Heideggerian texts that it examines. In so
doing, it challenges Heidegger's own assertion that what he
calls "being" cannot be called God. Against this ascertain, Sikka argues that what is to be called God remains
an open question, and points out metaphysical and theological
elements in Heidegger's reflections on being that help to answer
this question. Offering new insights into the relation between
metaphysics, theology, and mysticism, the book contributes not
only to Heidegger studies but to philosophical theology as well.
