Heidegger s later thought is a thinking of things, so argues Andrew J. Mitchell in The Fourfold. Heidegger understands these things in terms of what he names the fourfold a convergence of relationships bringing together the earth, the sky, divinities, and mortals and Mitchell s book is the first detailed exegesis of this neglected aspect of Heidegger s later thought. As such it provides entree to the full landscape of Heidegger s postwar thinking, offering striking new interpretations of the atomic bomb, technology, plants, animals, weather, time, language, the holy, mortality, dwelling, and more. What results is a conception of things as ecstatic, relational, singular, and, most provocatively, as intrinsically tied to their own technological commodification. A major new work that resonates beyond the confines of Heidegger scholarship, The Fourfold proposes nothing less than a new phenomenological thinking of relationality and mediation for understanding the things around us.
