Martin Heidegger's (1889-1976) influence has long been felt not
just in philosophy, but also in such fields as art, architecture,
and literary studies. Yet his difficult terminology has often
scared away interested readers lacking an academic background in
philosophy. In this new entry in the "Ideas Explained" series,
author Graham Harman shows that Heidegger is actually one of the
simplest and clearest of thinkers. His writings and analyses boil
down to a single powerful idea: being is not presence. In any human
relation with the world, our thinking and even our acting do not
fully exhaust the world. Something more always withdraws from our
grasp. As Harman shows, Heidegger understood that human beings are
not lucid scientific observers staring at the world and describing
it, but instead are thrown into a world where light is always mixed
with shadow. The book concludes with a comprehensible discussion of
the philosopher's notoriously opaque concept of the fourfold.
