Martin Heidegger is one of the twentieth century's most
influential, but also most cryptic and controversial philosophers.
His early fusion of phenomenology with existentialism inspired
Sartre and many others, and his later critique of modern
rationality inspired Derrida and still others. This introduction
covers the whole of Heidegger's thought and is ideal for anyone
coming to his work for the first time. John Richardson centres his
account on Heidegger's persistent effort to change the very kind of
understanding or truth we seek. Beginning with an overview of
Heidegger's life and work, he sketches the development of
Heidegger's thought up to the publication of Being and Time. He
shows how that book takes up Husserl's method of phenomenology and
adapts it. He then introduces and assesses the key arguments of
Being and Time under three headings-pragmatism, existentialism, and
temporality-its three levels of analysis of human experience.
Subsequent chapters introduce Heidegger's later philosophy,
including his turn towards a historical account of being, and new
ideas about how we need to 'think' to get the truth about it; his
influential writings on language, art, and poetry, and their role
in the Western history of being; and his claim that this history
has culminated in a technological relation to things that is deeply
problematic, above all in the way it excludes the divine. The final
chapter looks at Heidegger's profound influence on several
intellectual movements ranging from phenomenology to existentialism
to postmodernism. A much-needed and refreshing introduction to this
major figure, Heidegger is ideal reading for anyone coming to his
work for the first time and will interest and stimulate students
and scholars alike.
