'The Cambridge Companion to Heidegger's 'Being and Time' is a welcome addition to the growing body of literature that treats Heidegger as a philosopher with whom it is possible to argue. The essays provide a wonderful introduction to central issues in Heidegger's magnum opus, each making a substantial philosophical contribution of its own.' Steven Crowell, Rice University
