Heidegger is perhaps the most influential, yet least readily
understood, philosopher of the last century. Mark A. Wrathall
unpacks Heidegger's dense prose, and guides the reader through
Heidegger's early concern with the nature of human existence, to
his later preoccupation with the threat that technology poses to
our ability to live worthwhile lives. Wrathall pays particular
attention to Heidegger's revolutionary analysis of human existence
as inextricably shaped by a shared world. This leads to an
exploration of his views on the banality of public life, and the
possibility of authentic anticipation of death as a response to
that banality. Wrathall reviews Heidegger's scandalous involvement
with National Socialism, situating it in the context of his views
about the movement of world history. He also explains Heidegger's
important accounts of truth, art, and language. Extracts are taken
from Heidegger's magnum opus, Being and Time, as well as a variety
of his best known essays and lectures.
