Being and Time - Martin Heidegger, Harper Perennial

&quot,What is the meaning of being?&quot, This is the central question of Martin Heidegger's profoundly important work, in which the great philosopher seeks to explain the basic problems of existence. A central influence on later philosophy, literature, art, and criticism--as well as existentialism and much of postmodern thought--Being and Time&amp,nbsp,forever changed the intellectual map of the modern world. As Richard Rorty wrote in the&amp,nbsp,New York Times Book Review, &quot,You cannot read most of the important thinkers of recent times without taking Heidegger's thought into account.&quot, This first paperback edition of John Macquarrie and Edward Robinson's definitive translation also features a new foreword by Heidegger scholar Taylor Carman.
