Summary:

Heidegger is one of the most controversial thinkers of the twentieth century. His writings are notoriously difficult; they both require and reward careful reading. Being and Time, his first major publication, remains to this day his most influential work.

In this second edition, Stephen Mulhall expands and revises his treatment of two central Heideggerian themes-scepticism, and death. He also explains and assesses the contentious relationship between the two parts of Being and Time.

This guide will be vital to all students of Heidegger in philosophy and cultural theory.
