Martin Heidegger’s Being and Time was first published in 1927. Philosopher Hans Meyerhoff and many others consider it one of the most important philosophical works of our time.
Heidegger's Being and Time, an ontology that delves into the essence of being, is a transformative journey. It guides us to turn inward, discover our authentic selves, and heed the call of conscience to be true to ourselves.
Heidegger's distinction between Human Beings and Dasein is a significant intellectual leap. It stimulates our minds and engages us in a deeper understanding of our own existence.
Heidegger's call to self-awareness and understanding of Dasein is a catalyst for personal growth. It empowers us to embrace our individuality and strive for authenticity.
Heidegger also explains that time is not infinite but a horizon of possibilities for beings. For human beings, finite time defines what can be achieved through their choices.
(This book is challenging to read. It takes off on several tangents. In some ways, it sounds like a religious focus without referring to a deity.)
