The Mystery of Being: Reconsidering the Mystical Element in Heidegger's Thought

This book showcases the contributions of esteemed scholars in Heideggerian studies, delving into the inquiry of the mystical essence inherent in Heidegger's thought. Rather than confining "mystery" to the conventional realm of mysticism, separate from philosophy, this volume’s original research investigates how the mystery of being is integral to philosophy itself, shaping its performative and transformative nature. The book’s central inquiry asks whether this mystical element is essential to Heidegger’s thought and how it relates to traditional notions of mysticism. At its core, however, it questions the very essence of philosophy—its transformative potential—engaging with numerous themes in Heidegger’s work while remaining attuned to the centrality and significance of the mystery of being.
