Inheritance and Originality - Mulhall, Stephen (Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy, Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy, New College, Oxford)

A study of Wittgenstein, Heidegger, and Kierkegaard which argues that they find themselves unable to inherit the prevailing conventions of philosophy. By placing the conventions in question, they reconceive the form of philosophical writing, and of philosophy itself, together with prevailing notions of language, scepticism, morality, and the self.
