Richard Polt provides a lively and accessible introduction to one
of the most influential and intellectually demanding philosophers
of the modern era. Covering the entire range of Heidegger's
thought, Polt skillfully communicates the essence of the
philosopher, enabling readers, especially those new to his
writings, to approach his works with confidence and insight. Polt
presents the questions Heidegger grappled with and the positions he
adopted, and also analyzes persistent points of difference between
competing schools of interpretation.
The book begins by exploring Heidegger's central concern, the
question of Being, and his way of doing philosophy. After
considering his environment, personality, and early thought, it
carefully takes readers through his best-known work, Being and
Time. Heidegger concludes with highlights of its subject's later
thought, providing guidelines for understanding Contributions to
Philosophy and other important texts. It gives special attention to
the philosopher's political involvement with the Nazis in the
1930s, indicating the strengths and weaknesses of the reactions to
his politics, reactions ranging from exculpation to complete
condemnation.
