Contrarily to easiness, simplicity is not the opposite of difficulty, but appears as its very expression. The most beautiful expression of the difficult is the simple. Braver's book is precisely simple in that sense. It presents Heideggerian thought in all its complexity in the most accessible and engaging way, so that it can speak to all. A phenomenal achievement.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatherine Malabou, Kingston University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Leave it to Lee Braver to give us an overview of Heidegger's thought that is both entertaining and consistently insightful. The conversational tone of his commentary is engaging, while each page reveals a lifetime of careful thought about Heidegger.

Within the continental tradition, almost every great figure has been deeply influenced by his work. For this reason, a full understanding of the course of modern philosophy is impossible without at least a basic grasp of Heidegger. Unfortunately, his work is notoriously difficult, both because of his innovative ideas and his difficult writing style.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In this compelling book, Lee Braver cuts through the jargon to present Heidegger’s ideas in clear English, using illuminating examples and explications of thorny passages. In so doing, he offers readers an accessible overview of Heidegger’s entire career. The first half of the book presents a guide through \u003ci\u003eBeing and Time\u003c\/i\u003e, Heidegger’s early masterpiece, while the second half covers the key themes of his later writing, including technology, subjectivity, history, nihilism, agency, and the nature of thought itself. As Heidegger’s later work is deeply engaged with other philosophers, Braver explains the relevance of Plato, Descartes, Kant, and Nietzsche for Heidegger’s thought.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book will be of great interest to students and scholars trying to find their way through Heidegger’s difficult ideas. Anyone interested in Twentieth Century continental philosophy must come to terms with Heidegger, and this book is the ideal place to begin.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbbreviations x\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: An Initial Orientation 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I Being and Time 7\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction to Being and Time 9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Being and Time 1.\u003cbr\u003eI–IV: Being-in and the World 22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Being and Time 1.\u003cbr\u003eV–VI: The There and Care 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Being and Time 2.\u003cbr\u003eI–III. 64: Authenticity 76\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Being and Time 2.\u003cbr\u003eIII. 65–VI: Temporality as the Meaning of Existence 98\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Being and Time: Conclusion 126\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II Later Heidegger 133\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Introduction to the Later Heidegger 135\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 History, Nazism, the History of Being and of its Forgetting 140\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Descartes, Thinking, and Free Will 157\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Gratitude, Language, and Art 177\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Technology, Nietzsche, and Nihilism 194\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion: Influences, Developments, and Criticisms 207\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 214\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 223\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 231\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Philosophy [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Philosophy\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Philosophy%20%5BHP%5D%22\"\u003eHP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407330210072,"sku":"9780745664910","price":45.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745664910.jpg?v=1784162532","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/heidegger-thinking-of-being-hardback-9780745664910","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
