A book on Heidegger reignites the debate over his political views
As reported in The New York Times, a soon-to-be published book in English has revived the long-running debate about whether the man can be separated from his philosophy. Heidegger's critique of Western thought and technology has penetrated deeply into architecture, psychology and literary theory and inspired some of the most influential intellectual movements of the 20th century. Yet he was also a fervent Nazi.
Coincidentally, we are releasing on Home Video on November 17th our title THE ISTER, a film that takes up some of the most challenging paths in Heidegger's thought.Labels: heidegger, home video release, philosophy, the ister
And the Pursuit of Happiness...
In its April issue, The New York Review of Books examines the latest (and numerous) books on happiness as well as articles and essays on the subject.
In HOW HAPPY CAN YOU BE?, filmmaker Line Hatland, who admits to not being as happy as she'd like to be, seeks answers to this question by interviewing and showing the work of some of the world's leading researchers on happiness, or "objective well being," including psychologists, anthropologists, sociologists, and neuroscientists.
