Books by Martin Heidegger
Martin Heidegger was an important and controversial philosopher of the 20th century. His major work was Being and Time, published in

In his short study, Biemel takes the reader carefully through Heidegger’s philosophy, acknowleging that he can do no more than describe the “fragments” of the greater whole (p. 8), focusing upon Being and Time, the essay “The Origins of the Work of Art”, the “Letter on Humanism” and a selection of Heidegger’s later writings on language and technology. Biemel’s methodology is exegetical and expository; a “following” (a word he uses often) of He
