The Heidegger Reader (Paperback)

The Heidegger Reader brings key texts from the entire course of Heidegger s philosophical career into one volume. Many of the selections, translated here for the first time, offer new insight into Heidegger s thought for both the beginning student and the experienced scholar. A critical and interpretive introduction by Gunter Figal traces the many thematic paths that are necessary for developing a comprehensive understanding of Heidegger s most important work. The carefully chosen readings are designed to reflect the concerns that are most relevant to philosophy today. Special features include an authoritative chronology of Heidegger s life, a current list of the Complete Works, and a definitive translation of Heidegger s controversial interview with Der Spiegel."
