Heidegger's Study of Christian Orthodoxy
Heidegger was a very reflective philosopher on how we have arrived at what he considered an age of nihilism. And that much of the appeal of, I suppose, Eastern Orthodoxy to me in my youth was precisely that it was a Christian tradition that emphasized cosmic mystery and union with God. So you can see how someone who takes seriously the genealogy of nihilism that someone like Heidegger unfolds might be drawn to a very robust depiction of a kind of glorified reality," says Frida Ghitis.
