Features: "Cambridge Guides to Philosophy" is a series of academic reference books published by Cambridge University Press in the 1990s. As the original editor stated, "One of the purposes of this series is to help readers overcome their difficulties with challenging and complex philosophical works." For non-professional readers and students interested in philosophy, this series provides highly authoritative and convenient guidance; for experts and in-depth researchers, it offers an overview of the latest developments in various critical interpretations. The Commercial Press has introduced and published the "Cambridge Guides to Philosophy" in its original English form, aiming to facilitate access for domestic readers and researchers. It is hoped that this research guide will help China's reading community grasp academic trends and broaden their intellectual horizons.
Heidegger is widely regarded as one of the most creative philosophers of the 20th century. His fundamental questioning about the "question of existence" has influenced literary theory, theology, aesthetics, political theory, and even environmental studies. "Heidegger" brings together renowned philosophers from Germany, France, the United States, and other regions to provide an in-depth description of various aspects of Heidegger's life and works, with a particular focus on his most important work, Being and Time. The book extensively covers issues such as political science, theology, ecology, psychoanalysis, Eastern thought, and linguistic philosophy. Additionally, a dedicated chapter is included to discuss the Philosophical Contributions (Beitr?ge zur Philosophie), which is often considered Heidegger's second major work.
