"Being and Time changed the course of philosophy." --Richard Rorty, New York Times Book Review

"Heidegger's masterwork." --The Economist

"What is the meaning of being?" This is the central question of Martin Heidegger's profoundly important work, in which the great philosopher seeks to explain the basic problems of existence. This first paperback edition of John Macquarrie and Edward Robinson's definitive translation also features a foreword by Heidegger scholar Taylor Carman.

A central influence on later philosophy, literature, art, and criticism--as well as existentialism and much of postmodern thought--Being and Time forever changed the intellectual map of the modern world. As Richard Rorty wrote in the New York Times Book Review, "You cannot read most of the important thinkers of recent times without taking Heidegger's thought into account."

5.0 out of 5 stars Ein Magnum Opus
Reviewed in Germany on 9 March 2019
Verified Purchase
Also, das Buch von M. Heidegger ist bestimmt ein Magnum Opus. Dieses Buch, obwohl ich es nicht komplett verstanden habe, hat ein großes Impakt in der westernische Philosophie. Ich hab' es für das zweite Mal begonnen zu lesen. Meiner Meinung nach, wenn man Heidegger liest, kann nicht mit ihm aufhören. Es nimmt dir, wie Cancer dir nimmt, wenn es auf die Metastase Stufe ist

5.0 out of 5 stars Human thought at its finest, densest
Reviewed in India on 12 October 2017

This book is absolutely essential if you are into continental philosophy. It is not a an easy read in fact this book will need years to slowly digest, and appreciate. One of the pinnacles of modern philosophy, irrespective of heideggers own political affiliations
