On Heidegger's Being and Time
Synopsis
This book offers two distinct philosophical perspectives on Martin Heidegger's seminal work, Being and Time. Simon Critchley interprets the text as an extension of Husserl's phenomenology, re-evaluating Heidegger's core concepts. In contrast, Reiner Schürmann proposes reading Being and Time through the lens of Heidegger's later writings, revealing its inherent complexities. The volume also includes Critchley's reinterpretation of authenticity, death, conscience, and temporality within the work.
