Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"In Albert Hofstadter's excellent translation, we can listen in as Heidegger clearly and patiently explains why one must deconstruct traditional epistemological concern with the relation of subjective content to transcendent object in the name of a distinction, never before made in philosophy, which he calls ontological difference." - Hubert L. Dreyfus, Times Literary Supplement "... the best introduction to [Heidegger's] thought that has yet appeared." - Graduate Faculty Philosophy Journal, New School for Social Research "... for all students and scholars Basic Problems will provide the 'missing link' between Husserl and Heidegger, between phenomenology and Being and Time." -Teaching Philosophy "Perhaps the most generally accessible text that Heidegger published ... the translation is superb."-The Key Reporter A lecture course that Martin Heidegger gave in 1927, The Basic Problems of Phenomenology continues and extends explorations begun in Being and Time. In Basic Problems Heidegger provides the general outline of his thinking about the fundamental problems of philosophy, which he treats by means of phenomenology, and which he defines and explains as the basic problems of ontology.
