The Routledge Guidebook to Heidegger s Being and Time examines the work of one of the most controversial thinkers of the twentieth century. Heidegger s writings are notoriously difficult, requiring careful reading. This book analyses his first major publication, "Being and Time," which to this day remains his most influential work.
"
The Routledge Guidebook to Heidegger s Being and Time" explores:
- The context of Heidegger s work and the background to his writing
- Each separate part of the text in relation to its goals, meanings and impact
- The reception the book received when first seen by the world
- The relevance of Heidegger s work to modern philosophy, its legacy and influence.
Following Heidegger s original work closely, this guidebook examines the two central themes of scepticism and death. Mulhall skilfully examines the relationship between the book s two parts, making it essential reading for all students of philosophy, and all those wishing to get to grips with this classic work."
