Biographical note
Michael Lewis is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of the West of England, UK.Michael Lewis' recent book, <i>Heidegger and the Place of Ethics</i>, develops a reading of the place of ethics in Heidegger's philosophical itinerary from <i>Being and Time</i> to his later works in the ambit of this question... among the chief merits of the book it affords us a vanguard point from which a critical engagement with Heidegger's more difficult thoughts of the early thirties and later can start.
- Rafael Winkler, University of Warwick, Pli: The Warwick Journal of Philosophy,
"[T]here is much to admire .... Lewis is immersed in the primary literature, and able to co-opt or deflect many familiar lines of criticism of it; he can debate matters of fine textual detail without losing his grip on their overarching argumentative purposes; and he repeatedly finds new angles of approach to even the most familiar Heideggerian claims and tropes."Stephen Mulhall, New College, Oxford
"While written for the specialist, Lewis's book provides a valuable contribution to the field of Heidegger studies." - Frank Schalow, European Legacy, June 2008

"...the problematics engaged are rich and promising, making for an interesting work." -Jane Gordon, Philosophy in Review
"...the sections of the text that develop the ethics of the thing are helpful for explaining the complexity of this notion in Heidegger, and the possibility that Heidegger's thought might have a deeper political dimension than initially appears is interesting." - Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, January 2006
Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"Lewis crosses out Heidegger's fundamental dichotomy between "being and "beings", and so makes a highly original contribution to the vast and often staid discussions surrounding this thinker."
