This concise and accessible textbook examines German philosopher Martin Heidegger’s entire body of work through the lens of his first and best-known book, Being and Time. An influential, twentieth-century scholar, Heidegger is often studied by opposing his early and later works. This insightful, new text guides students through Heidegger’s ideas without shying away from controversial issues and debates within the scholarship. By unifying Being and Time with the rest of Heidegger’s work, this book addresses the evolution of his thought across his lifetime. The text features a glossary of Greek, Latin, and English terms and a guide for reading the book in conjunction with Heidegger’s writings.

This excellent and detailed volume by Wisnewski devotes chapters 2-7 to a very careful and philosophically reliable analysis of Being and Time. Only in chapter 8 does the book turn to the later Heidegger. Throughout the focus is on Being and Time. The book has wonderful sections on secondary works on Being and Time, secondary works on the later Heidegger, collections of Heidegger's essays, works influenced by Heidegger, and lists of Heidegger's writings on ancient philosophy, art, ethics, politics, religion, technology, and truth. Appendixes feature common Greek and common Latin terms in Being and Time. This is an excellent book for those who are beginning their study of Heidegger. Wisnewski is the editor of the Review Journal of Political Philosophy and the author of a number of books, including Understanding Torture. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower- and upper-level undergraduates; general readers.
