| book description |

Martin Heidegger (1899-1976), born in Baden, Germany, is one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century. The one time assistant of Edmund Husserl, the founder of the phenomenological movement, Heidegger established himself as an independent and original thinker with the publication of his ""Being and Time"" in 1927. Heidegger's work has had a significant impact on many of this century's most important philosophical movements - including hermeneutics, phenomenology, existentialism, postmodernism and deconstruction. This collection of papers is an examination of Heidegger's work and contains established classic articles and many original pieces provided especially for this collection. The aim of the book is to critically examine Heidegger's work and it is therefore able to evaluate its limits as well as its strengths, as well as the prospects for the future development of his thinking. The cross-cultural and political aspects of this thought is examined, including his relationship with the Nazi party.
