Martin Heidegger: Key Concepts

Bret W. Davis

Acumen Publishing, Limited, 2010 - Philosophy - 288 pages

Martin Heidegger's writings are among the most formidable of recent philosophy. The pivotal concepts of his thought are for many the source of both fascination and frustration. Yet any student of philosophy needs to become acquainted with Heidegger's thought. Martin Heidegger: Key Concepts is designed to facilitate this. Each chapter introduces and explains a key Heideggerian concept, or a cluster of closely related concepts. Together, the chapters cover the full range of Heidegger's thought in its early, middle, and later phases. The book provides both a comprehensive introduction to Heidegger's work for the beginning student and an accessible reference for more advanced readers interested in particular aspects of Heidegger's thought.
