Description:
Martin Heidegger’s Existence and Being brings together four seminal essays, introduced and analyzed by Werner Brock. Written to reawaken the fundamental question “What is meant by Being?”, the essays offer a penetrating inquiry into metaphysics, the nature of Being, and the creative power of language. Two essays explore the foundations of metaphysics and Being, while the other two examine poetry and language as essential modes of human existence.
This edition also includes a valuable introduction that provides a concise overview of Heidegger’s career and situates these essays in relation to his major philosophical masterpiece, Being and Time.
A cornerstone text for students and collectors of existentialism, phenomenology, and Continental philosophy, Existence and Being remains an accessible entry point into Heidegger’s thought for those looking to grapple with his profound and challenging questions.
