Zusatztext "This brilliant book should convince mainstream philosophers that Heidegger is a thinker they cannot ignore or dismiss. Stunningly clear! it serves up existential insights on a silver platter." - Iain Thomson! University of New Mexico! USA "Equally remarkable for its erudition and clarity! this book will prove invaluable for students and scholars looking for guidance through Heidegger's early and later thought. Richardson's discussion of Being and Time is particularly ingenious! showing how it progresses through the increasingly profound layers of pragmatism! existentialism! and temporality. I highly recommend it." - Lee Braver! Hiram College!
