Being and Time is a seminal work in existential philosophy that explores the nature of human existence. Heidegger delves into concepts like Being, time, and existence with the aim of understanding what it means to "be." The book primarily focuses on the concept of Dasein, or being-in-the-world, offering insights into how temporal and finite human life is fundamentally linked to understanding our presence in the world.

Being and Time

A knowledge of Heidegger's Sein und Zeit is essential for anyone who wishes to understand a great deal of recent continental work in theology as well as philosophy. Yet until this translation first appeared in 1962, this fundamental work of one of the most influential European thinkers of the century remained inaccessible to English readers.

A knowledge of Heidegger's Sein und Zeit is essential for anyone who wishes to understand a great deal of recent continental work in theology as well as philosophy.

Yet until this translation first appeared in 1962, this fundamental work of one of the most influential European thinkers of the century remained inaccessible to English readers. In fact, the difficulty of Heidegger's thought was considered to be almost insuperable in the medium of a foreign language, especially English.

That this view was unduly pessimistic is proved by the impressive work of John Macquarrie and Edward Robinson, who have succeeded in clothing Heidegger's thought in English without sacrificing the richness and poetic subtlety of the original.
