A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

"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. 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."

This first paperback edition of John Macquarrie and Edward Robinson's definitive translation also features a new foreword by Heidegger scholar Taylor Carman.

Quatrième de couverture :

A knowledge of Heidegger′s Sein und Zeit is essential foranyone who wishes to understand a great deal of recent continentalwork in theology as well as philosophy. Yet until this translationfirst appeared in 1962, this fundamental work of one of the mostinfluential European thinkers of the century remained inaccessibleto English readers. In fact the difficulty of Heidegger′s thoughtwas considered to be almost insuperable in the medium of a foreignlanguage, especially English.

That this view was unduly pessimistic is proved by theimpressive work of John Macquarrie and Edward Robinson who havesucceeded in clothing Heidegger′s thought in English withoutsacrificing the richness and poetic subtlety of the original.
