Description
Indiana University Press History of the Concept of Time by Martin Heidegger
Heideggers lecture course at the University of Marburg in the summer of 1925 an early version of Being and Time (1927) offers a unique glimpse into the motivations that prompted the writing of this great philosophers master work and the presuppositions that gave shape to it. The book embarks upon a provisional description of what Heidegger calls Dasein the field in which both being and time become manifest. Heidegger analyzes Dasein in its everydayness in a deepening sequence of terms: beingintheworld worldhood and care as the being of Dasein. The course ends by sketching the themes of death and conscience and their relevance to an ontology that makes the phenomenon of time central. Theodore Kisiels outstanding translation premits Englishspeaking readers to appreciate the central importance of this text in the development of Heideggers thought.show more
