Heidegger's philosophy of human finitude went wrong, argued Rahner, only when it failed to see that finitude was necessarily and always rooted in and aiming at infinitude: immanent transcendence is made possible by a transcendence transcending all limits from the very start.
My thesis is that while there are significant, and indeed surprising, similarites between the philosophy of the Zhuangzi and Heidegger's early philosophy of life (especially as reflected in his lectures of 1919 and 1920), a growing rift develops between them when Heidegger begins to develop his philosophy of being.

Many students of philosophy have difficulty separating Martin Heidegger's brilliance and use of curiously-mystic language from his support of the Adolph Hitler and the National Socialists from 1933 through 1945.
Arthur Dawkins,
Astro-physicist

Although (Heidegger's fundamental ) ontology of temporal existence needs synthesis with spatial elements if it is to become a concrete ontology of a social being through the schematism of the world, these spatial elements should not be considered as the spatial expression of the infinite topos of Nothingness, or the Eternal Now.
That Heidegger's theology is an ontic science due to its positum, and possesses a unique relation to Dasein through faith amounts for Marion to "an irreducible ontological dependence" and thus fails to escape the critique aimed at theiology.
Heidegger's critique of Dilthey's early anticipations of the simulation theory is based on the idea that the success of simulation as a method of mental state attribution depends on a prior grasp of a more basic level of intersubjectivity.

Adorno illustrierte damit wieder einmal die Paradoxie, da sich gerade schwer verst ndliche Jargons wie der Heideggers oder Derridas oder eben sein eigener zur Schulenbildung ganz besonders gut eignen.
Nancy Holland setzte sich mit den Einfl ssen Heideggers und seinem Konzept von Authentizit t auseinander.
Andererseits findet die Idee der Authentizit t ber Heideggers Konzept der „Eigentlichkeit“ Eingang in den Existentialismus von Sartre und Beauvoir.
Mark Harris,
Priest

Here Derrida emphasizes Heidegger's point that one cannot give one's life for another in the sense of replacing the other's death, since one's sacrifice cannot exempt the other from his or her own eventual death.
Bultman attempted to demythologize the New Testament through his study of Heidegger's ontology and his own Form Criticism in erasing some of the New Testament statements that, he thought, belonged to ancient worldviews.
Heidegger's well-known purpose in the 1950 text is to render possible what he terms a "step backwards," and this step backwards must allow man, who defines himself by his ability to die, that is, by his mortality, to watch over things.
