Heidegger provides a lively and accessible introduction to one of the most influential and intellectually demanding philosophers of the modern era. Covering the entire range of Heidegger's thought, but focusing on his key work, Being and Time, Richard Polt skillfully guides readers through the texts using clear examples and vivid language. This second edition features biographical insights, illuminates Heidegger's intellectual development, and orients readers to his most important and influential writings.

Polt has thoroughly revised the text, enriching and updating his interpretations with major primary and secondary sources published since the first edition was released in 1999. A new discussion of Heidegger's entanglement with Nazism draws on the philosopher's lectures, seminars, and journals. Engaging and thought-provoking, Heidegger invites readers to learn to swim in the often turbulent waters of Heidegger's questioning of Being.

Industry Reviews

Richard Polt's introduction to Heidegger contains important discussions of the relevance of Heidegger's thought to logic, language, and art, as well as to his political stance during National Socialism. The clarity of the author's synopsis of the structure and major themes of Being and Time is exceptional. (Review of Metaphysics) Heidegger succeeds in making the philosopher's thought accessible without rendering it simplistic. Polt provides a guide for reading and understanding the original, opening a way into Heidegger's difficult thought admirably. (Philosophy in Review)
