The Cambridge Companion to Heidegger

Martin Heidegger is now widely recognised as one of the major philosophers of the twentieth century. He changed mainstream philosophy by making the question of being its central task, and his thought fed into the turn to hermeneutics, postmodernism and poststructuralism.

His deep involvement with Nazism has also prompted a long debate about how philosophy relates to politics. This companion, edited in the Cambridge series format, brings together the material needed to approach that body of work.

It is published by Cambridge University Press, ISBN-13 9780521821360. It suits students and readers of philosophy and continental thought.
