Martin Heidegger

Philosophy

Description
Published in 1927, Martin Heidegger's Being and Time is a foundational treatise in continental philosophy that investigates the fundamental question of what it means to exist. The text approaches ontology through a detailed analysis of human existence, designated as Dasein, arguing that human beings are inherently situated within the world rather than detached observers. Its primary thesis connects this situated existence directly to temporality, demonstrating how time structures human care, everyday practice, and mortality. The book is intended for scholars, philosophy students, and advanced readers interested in phenomenology, existentialism, and twentieth-century metaphysics.
