In this book, Krell examines Martin Heidegger's engagement with the concept of life, particularly in relation to his philosophical ideas and political affiliations. Krell investigates how Heidegger's philosophy may have contributed to his support of National Socialism, suggesting that Heidegger's failure to develop a constructive "life-philosophy" led to authoritarian tendencies. The work also explores themes of life, death, sexuality, and spirit, drawing connections between Heidegger's thoughts and those of Freud, Nietzsche, Derrida, and Irigaray. Daimon Life addresses issues central to contemporary philosophies of politics, gender, ecology, and theoretical biology.. Good+ with no dust jacket .
