The Logic of Being

"Livingston’s work stands out as highly original and daring. Rather than providing primarily an exegesis of Heidegger’s text, The Logic of Being uses his philosophy to open up a much wider ontological horizon while nonetheless succeeding in carrying out a rigorous close reading. With specific regard to Heidegger, Livingston provides thorough and thought-provoking accounts of the different stages of his oeuvre."—Lorenzo Chiesa, author of The Virtual Point of Freedom: Essays on Politics, Aesthetics, and Religion 
 

The Logic of Being "is significant and promises to forever alter our assumptions about the analytic-continental divide." —Jeffrey Bell, author of Philosophy at the Edge of Chaos: Gilles Deleuze and the Philosophy of Difference

"Livingston’s analysis (and synthesis) is topically wide-ranging—grappling with philosophical problems of being, truth, sense, the infinite, and time—and touches on the work of many significant analytic thinkers, including Michael Dummett, Donald Davidson, and Graham Priest. Livingston demonstrates familiarity with both Continental and analytic methodologies, but he makes a concerted effort to avoid unnecessary jargon, so that the work may speak meaningfully to philosophers in both camps. This in itself makes The Logic of Being a valuable read. Recommended."—CHOICE
