This is an original and refreshing look at one of the most
important and influential philosophers of the 20th Century. This
book offers a faithful and meticulous reading of Heidegger's magnum
opus, "Being and Time".Martin Heidegger was one of the most
influential philosophers of the 20th century. His analysis of human
existence proves an inexhaustible ground for thinkers of all
backgrounds who seek answers for their specific questions left open
or opened up by our times. This book explores the intrinsic
connection between two fundamentally human traits, language and
death. Heidegger addresses each of these traits in depth, without
ever explicitly outlining their relationship in a separate theory.
However, in a close examination of Heidegger's magnum opus, "Being
and Time", Joachim L. Oberst uncovers a connection in three basic
steps. Ultimately the author argues that the human invention of
language is motivated by the drive towards immortality - language
emerges from the experience of mortality as a response to it. This
is a refreshing look at one of the most challenging and influential
philosophers of our times.
