Synopsis
A major influence on Foucault and Derrida, a contemporary of Sartre, and a central figure in the existential and phenomenological movements, Heidegger (1889-1970) has profoundly shaped the contours of 20th century intellectual history, but for the lay reader there remains great difficulty in getting a secure foothold on his philosophy. HEIDEGGER FOR BEGINNERS synthesises the complexity of his thought and offers a lively point of entry into concepts regarded by some as an intellectual time bomb. Being and Time, Being-in-the-World, Anxiety, the Future, the necessity of Choice and Death, Nothing, the Self this is the essential Heidegger, Existentialism in plain English, an exploration of a philosophy that challenged an entire intellectual tradition.
