About the Book

"Provides interesting details on Heidegger's biography and political life and surveys some of the philosopher's later writings."― Publishers Weekly Richard Polt provides a lively and accessible introduction to one of the most influential and intellectually demanding philosophers of the modern era. Covering the entire range of Heidegger's thought, Polt skillfully communicates the essence of the philosopher, enabling readers, especially those new to his writings, to approach his works with confidence and insight. Polt presents the questions Heidegger grappled with and the positions he adopted, and also analyzes persistent points of difference between competing schools of interpretation.  The book begins by exploring Heidegger's central concern, the question of Being, and his way of doing philosophy. After considering his environment, personality, and early thought, it carefully takes readers through his best-known work, Being and Time. Heidegger concludes with highlights of its subject's later thought, providing guidelines for understanding Contributions to Philosophy and other important texts. It gives special attention to the philosopher's political involvement with the Nazis in the 1930s, indicating the strengths and weaknesses of the reactions to his politics, reactions ranging from exculpation to complete condemnation.

About the Author :
Richard Polt is Professor of Philosophy at Xavier University, Cincinnati. He is the author of The Emergency of Being: On Heidegger's Contributions to Philosophy, also from Cornell.

Review :
Polt has written a valuable introduction for beginners to Heidegger. Polt encourages the reader to try Heidegger's ideas on for size, and to judge them accordingly. Heidegger's philosophy comes to life in this little book. Highly recommended for all levels. (Choice) Polt negotiates the difficult path between introduction and over-simplification skilfully. Heidegger: An Introduction succeeds in making the philosopher's thought accessible without rendering it simplistic. (Philosophy in Review) Provides interesting details on Heidegger's biography and political life and surveys some of the philosopher's later writings. (Publishers Weekly)
