"Sharin N Elkholy's Heidegger and a Metaphysics of Feeling: Angst and the Finitude of Being, provides incisive commentary on one of the most difficult thinkers of the postmodern philosophy. The renown of Heidegger's genius is matched by his often muddling, too-creative language. Elkholy successfully manages to highlight the former while clarifying the latter. Philosophical practitioners, serious readers of philosophy, and expositors on Heidegger are better for it... Upon finishing the book, one wishes that all commentary and interpretation of Heidegger would be as concise. Also of great _interest to the reader and serious student of Heidegger are Elkholy's brief comments on his theory of "ontological homelessness." For the sake of philosophical practitioners at least, I hope the very capable Elkholy pursues an in-depth exposition of this timely theory." - Tim Weldon, Philosophical Practice, Vol. 3 No. 3, October 2008 Mention -Book News, February 2009 "Sham in Elkholy's Heidegger and a Metaphysics of Feeling offers an original interpretation of the role of Angst in Heidegger's Being and Time. Against the grain of many and varied commentators on this theme, Elkholy's central thesis is that the experience of Angst or anxiety, and the concomitant encounter with the nothing fundamentally disindividuates and strips inauthentic Da-sein of any and all sense of selfhood." - Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Dana S. Belu "...very well-written and the author's position is well-argued." The European Legacy, Vol 16, No. 1
