About this title

From the Publisher

Michael Inwood, Professor of Philosophy at Trinity College, Oxford in Great Britain, who has authored several important texts on Heidegger including A Heidegger Dictionary, wrote a foreword to the book in which he states:

“Michael Watts gives an exceptionally clear and readable account of Being and Time, while also performing the difficult feat of weaving this into an account of Heidegger’s later writings. He provides valuable guidance for the beginner through the complexities of Heidegger’s thought and much of interest for those who are already ‘on the way.’ ”
