This book is the first comprehensive study in English of Heidegger's philosophy of art. Julian Young examines Heidegger's discussion of Greek art, his subsequent work on Hölderlin, whom he later identified as the decisive influence on his mature philosophy, and his engagement with the art of Rilke, Cézanne, Klee and Zen Buddhism. Drawing on material hitherto unknown in the anglophone world, Young establishes a new account of Heidegger's philosophy of art and shows that his famous 1936 essay "The Origin of the Work of Art" is its beginning, not its end.
