Two breakthrough lectures from one of the most important and influential philosophers of the 20th Century introduce key themes in the thought of Martin Heidegger.

Martin Heidegger is one of the most important and influential philosophers of the 20th Century. A major figure in the development of phenomenology, his work also profoundly influenced many of the intellectual movements that followed in his wake, from Sartre's Existentialism to Derrida's deconstructionism. Towards the Definition of Philosophy brings together two seminal lectures that mark a breakthrough moment in Heidegger's thought and introduces the major themes that he would develop in his opus Being and Time.

About the Author

Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) is regarded as one of the 20th century's most important philosophers. Successor to Edmund Husserl as Professor of Philosophy at the University of Freiburg, Germany, his major work is the influential Being and Time.

Industry Reviews

"It would be difficult to overestimate the importance of these lecture courses for an understanding of the development of Heidegger's thinking; yet in the very act of illuminating this development, they also throw new light on many of the most fundamental ideas figuring in 'Being and Time' itself. This book will be essential reading for anyone looking for the argumentation behind Heidegger's unique conception of human existence."--Ian Lyne, University of Durham
