(P/B) MAKING SENSE OF HEIDEGGER
Making Sense of Heidegger presents a radically new reading of Heidegger's notoriously difficult oeuvre. Clearly written and rigorously grounded in the whole of Heidegger's writings, Thomas Sheehan's latest book argues for the strict unity of Heidegger's thought on the basis of three theses: that his work was phenomenological from beginning to the end; that "being" refers to the meaningful presence of things in the world of human concerns; and that what makes such intelligibility possible is the existential structure of human being as the t...

(P/B) FINANCING THE EU BUDGET
Often described as complex, opaque and unfair, the EU budget financing system is an "unfinished journey."

The political sustainability of a move that would put the legitimacy of EU revenue at the forefront of public discussion will depend on the European Commission's ability to show that EU fun...
