Features: The only measure for thinking comes from the very thing that awaits thinking. The greatest danger of thinking, however, lies in the fact that, as far as what I see, none of today's thinkers are truly "great" enough to bring thinking directly and in formation before the things, and thus to embark on the path of thinking. — Heidegger
In today's world, people are engrossed in economic success and the practice of ideologies, which is a global danger. Heidegger helps people realize that humans are not merely objects of manipulation. Through his meditative thinking, his famous inquiry into the meaning of things and the reflective nature of human existence, Heidegger successfully discovered the scale on which past and present people have discerned the historical given and current practices (the reference). — Richard Wessel
Heidegger is the most influential philosopher of the 20th century and also one of the most important representatives of existentialist philosophy. His book Being and Time, published in 1927, established his position in modern philosophy. In 1933, he faced criticism for his involvement in Nazi politics, and later, his post-war refusal to examine Nazi issues provoked outrage. His philosophy has influenced generations, shaping renowned philosophers such as Hannah Arendt, Herbert Marcuse, Hans Jonas, and Emmanuel Levinas. As a citizen, Heidegger is insignificant; as a thinker, he is unparalleled. You may disdain Heidegger as a citizen; you may ridicule him as a civilian; you may say whatever you like about him as a private individual; but as a thinker, if you do not read Heidegger, who else should you read? If a reader has thinking, they can recognize what is thought and what awaits thinking within it. If not, whether citizen, civilian, or private person, choose freely.
