Heidegger, 2nd Edition

This antidote to the bafflement with which Heidegger’s writings are often received is authored with exemplary clarity. Incisive and accessible, Inwoods cool-headed clarifications will be welcomed both inside and outside philosophy. * Stephen Priest, Research Fellow in Philosophy of Science and Philosophy of Religion, Catholic Faculty of Theology, Ruhr Universität Bochum *This is the best short introduction to Heidegger, written by one of the most prominent experts in the field. It is particularly strong on the early and middle Heidegger, including the question of Being and the essence of truth and art. * Edward Kanterian, author of Kant, God and Metaphysics *Review from previous edition Inwood’s work is a fine little book; a transparent window onto Heidegger that renders him fascinating and profound.’ * John Shand, Philosophical Books *
