Martin Heidegger was a captivating and controversial philosopher,
known for his highly original and challenging philosophical
concepts, as well as his association with - and sympathy for - the
Nazi Party during World War II.Providing an introduction to both
the man and his philosophy, this book is a concise, jargon-free
journey through his life and thought. The publication of
Heidegger's private 'Black Notebooks' from the 1930s and 40s has
led to renewed interest in the relationship between Heidegger's
philosophy and his political views and caused widespread confusion
and condemnation. This short book puts many of these problems into
context and offers an honest appraisal of Heidegger's disturbing
political views and how they might relate to some of the perennial
themes that occupied his philosophical imagination. A fascinating
portrait of a brilliant, complicated and often unattractive human
being, the book will prove invaluable for students with some
familiarity with Heidegger's thought, students approaching
Heidegger's work for the first time and non-specialists looking to
acquaint themselves with a great, yet problematic, twentieth
century thinker.
