The philosophical significance of place--in Heidegger's work and as the focus of a distinctive mode of philosophical thinking.

The idea of place--topos--runs through Martin Heidegger's thinking almost from the very start. It can be seen not only in his attachment to the famous hut in Todtnauberg but in his constant deployment of topological terms and images and in the situated, placed character of his thought and of its major themes and motifs. Heidegger's work, argues Jeff Malpas, exemplifies the practice of philosophical topology. In Heidegger and the Thinking of Place, Malpas examines the topological aspects of Heidegger's thought and offers a broader elaboration of the philosophical significance of place. Doing so, he provides a distinct and productive approach to Heidegger as well as a new reading of other key figures--notably Kant, Aristotle, Gadamer, and Davidson, but also Benjamin, Arendt, and Camus.
