Description
Heidegger: A Guide for the Perplexed is a thorough, cogent and reliable account of Heidegger's philosophy, ideal for the student who needs to reach a sound understanding of this complex and important thinker. The book covers Heidegger's philosophy in its entirety, including an exposition of Being and Time and examination of ideas central to his later work. His conceptions of both ontology and phenomenology are explored in full, as is the concept of Dasein, Heidegger's term for the human way of existence.

This might be a good book, but the kindle version is marred by multiple mis-spellings ("HusserFs" instead of "Husserl's") and missing words (particularly short words like 'an' and 'a'). I suspect someone did a sloppy job scanning the paper version and never followed up with a thorough copy edit.Even if the conversion to digital was exact, I'm not convinced the author presents this fascinating material in the most compelling way. Though the book starts out in clear, common sense prose, the author jumps into very complex, jargon-laid ('instantiation') discussions with little ramp up. His overview of Phenomenology, in particular, I think, will be very hard to digest unless the reader has already consumed one or two other books on the topic.Heidegger is never easy. And, in places, this book makes tough concepts tangible. But, overall, I'm not convinced this book is a good place for a beginner to start.
