Everydayness, Divinity, and the Sacred: Shinto and Heidegger

This essay focuses on the later writings of Heidegger, with his radical attempt to rethink religion, and Folk Shinto. The first two sections outline the gods and the fourfold in Heidegger’s later thought, while the subsequent sections discuss the resonances these have within Shinto, particularly kami 神 and shrines.
