Heidegger by John Richardson

Heidegger by John Richardson

Presents an introduction to Heidegger's life and work. This book introduces and assesses the key arguments of Being and Time under three key headings: pragmatism; existentialism; and the themes of time and being.

"This brilliant book should convince mainstream philosophers that Heidegger is a thinker they cannot ignore or dismissStunningly clear, it serves up existential insights on a silver platter." - Iain Thomson, University of New Mexico, USA

"Equally remarkable for its erudition and clarity, this book will prove invaluable for students and scholars looking for guidance through Heidegger’s early and later thought. Richardson’s discussion of Being and Time is particularly ingenious, showing how it progresses through the increasingly profound layers of pragmatism, existentialism, and temporality. I highly recommend it." - Lee Braver, Hiram College, USA

"Here’s a book on Heidegger that instructs the uninitiated, meets Heidegger’s opponents with rigor and fairness, and does all this with commendable clarity and thoroughness." - Albert Borgmann, University of Montana, USA
