'Pageau-St Hilaire reads with exceptional clarity and insight four pivotal figures, Heidegger and three of his most gifted students: Strauss, Gadamer, and Krüger. Krüger is largely unknown in the Anglophone world, especially compared with Gadamer, and so Pageau-St Hilaire's contextual elucidation will open up long neglected avenues for research. His treatment of Heidegger's confrontation early in his career with the Marburg school Neo-Kantian Platonism, as well as his judicious discussion of contemporary debates about Heidegger's interpretation of Plato, will make this book essential reading for anyone interested in the reception of Plato in Continental philosophy and beyond.'
