'Ways of Releasement' contains never-before-published material from Schürmann’s early period as well as a report Schürmann wrote about his encounter with Heidegger; a précis of his autobiographical novel, 'Origins'; and translations and new editions of later groundbreaking essays. 'Ways of Releasement' concludes with an extensive afterword setting Schürmann’s writings in the context of his thinking and life."
We first say a few words about the general reception and relevance of Schürmann’s reading of Heidegger in and for contemporary thought. We then demonstrate how, in Schürmann’s interpretation, the name “Heidegger” stands for the monstrous site in which the ineluctability of hegemonic fantasms meets its end. Next, we look more closely at how this comes about by examining four centripetal strategies and four centrifugal counter-strategies that are, according to Schürmann, simultaneously operative in Heidegger’s Beiträge, and at some of the implications Schürmann draws thereby. Finally, we will contrast Schürmann’s unique alternative with a variety of contemporary appropriations of Heidegger.

This volume of Reiner Schürmann’s lectures unpacks Nietzsche’s ambivalence towards Kant, in particular positioning Nietzsche’s claim to have brought an end to German idealism against the backdrop of the Kantian transcendental-critical tradition. Rather than simply compare the two philosophers, Schürmann’s lectures help us to understand the consequences Nietzsche derived from Kantian concepts, as well as the wider horizon within which Nietzsche’s ideas arose and can best be shown to apply. According to Schürmann’s trenchant reading: if Nietzsche was indeed “fatal” to Western philosophy, as he claimed, he was so in large part because of the Kantian transcendental thinking from which he inherited the very elements and tools of his criticism.

Pref. di É. Rigal, Intro., trad. e note a cura di F. Guercio (in preparazione).
Attraverso un'attenta lettura di alcuni passi cruciali del Fedro, Gérard Granel ricostruisce, decostruendola, l'"invenzione" platonica dell'anima come dispositivo letterario e filosofico atto a produrre l'identificazione tra la psyché come "principio del movimento" e l'arché come "movimento del principio", un dispositivo che, operando lo slittamento, o détournement, dal mantico al mathesico, aprirà la strada alla cartesiana mathesis universalis.
«Un mondo comunista non è altro che la raccolta attenta o ‘composizione’ di processi convergenti di diserzione che permette loro di coesistere attraverso le loro singolari differenze in una modalità di comunione che Agamben chiama 'esilio'».
Schürmann's aim in these lectures is to show how the problem of the will came to dominate the self-understanding of the subject, strengthening its claim to mastery over the world. Whether under the auspices of ‘spirit,’ the ‘Overman,’ or ‘technology,’ the subject of late modernity would come to understand itself as 'the willing animal to whom nature must conform.'
