Description

The ideas of the German philosopher Martin Heidegger have been described as an intellectual time bomb, as some of the most revolutionary thought in western history. Despite the enormous amount of secondary scholarship available on Heidegger, it is‰ÛÒdue to the complexity of his thought and the density of his writing‰ÛÒdifficult for the curious beginner to gain an insight into Heidegger‰_s philosophy. Heidegger For Beginners serves as an entry into the ideas of one of the 20th century‰_s most important thinkers, situating Heidegger‰_s thought within its philosophical and historical context‰ÛÒalongside such thinkers as Plato, Descartes, Kant, Nietzsche, Husserl and Sartre. Heidegger For Beginners explicates many of Heidegger‰_s central ideas, including the Nothing, average everydayness, care, existence, be-in-the-world, the One, the critique of technology, anxiety, and most importantly, Being‰ÛÒa notion which may offer us the key to understanding the very mystery of our own existence.
