Not Saved: Essays after Heidegger (German: Nicht gerettet. Versuche nach Heidegger) is a 2001 essay collection by the German philosopher Peter Sloterdijk. It contains ten essays and lectures that relate to the works of the German philosopher Martin Heidegger, and especially how Heidegger's thoughts have been received by his successors.
Publication
[edit source]Suhrkamp Verlag published the original German edition as Nicht gerettet. Versuche nach Heidegger in 2001.[1] An English translation by Ian Alexander Moore and Christopher Turner was published by Polity in 2016.[2]
Contents
[edit source]The essays and lectures concern the legacy of Martin Heidegger's works and how later thinkers have engaged with them. A recurring theme is that Sloterdijk presents Heidegger as a fallen figure due to Heidegger's attachment to the provincial, which made him unwilling to embrace cities and human expansion. Sloterdijk thinks it is possible to resolve Heidegger's flaws by regarding mobilization and anthropotechnics as fundamental parts of being human, and thereby affirm humanism despite the failure of people who follow typical humanist ideals in competitions over power.[3][4]

Reception
[edit source]In Phenomenological Reviews, Anthony Crisafi described the book's content as "extended dialogues with both the reader and with a wide range of thinkers, as well as a developed depth and breadth of intellectual knowledge", written in "dense prose, which is never stultifying but rather engaging and erudite".[3]
