Being and Time
by Martin Heidegger · Martin Heidegger
Heidegger's 1927 attempt to reopen the question of the meaning of Being by analysing Dasein, the entity that questions its own existence. Introduces being-in-the-world, thrownness, care, and temporality. Dense, and best read alongside a commentary.
