The Essence of Human Freedom is a groundbreaking work that provides a compelling philosophical account of humanity's potential for liberty. It is fundamental for understanding Heidegger's view of Greek philosophy and its relationship to modern philosophy.

In no other work by Heidegger do we find as detailed a consideration of Kant's practical philosophy or of Aristotle's Metaphysics as is given here.

Translated by Ted Sadler. Dr Ted Sadler studied at the University of Sydney and has taught philosophy widely at Australian universities.
