His early fusion of phenomenology with existentialism inspired Sartre and many others, and his later critique of modern rationality inspired Derrida and still others. This introduction covers the whole of Heidegger's thought and is ideal for anyone coming to his work for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Richardson centres his account on Heidegger's persistent effort to change the very kind of understanding or truth we seek. Beginning with an overview of Heidegger's life and work, he sketches the development of Heidegger's thought up to the publication of \u003cem\u003eBeing and Time\u003c\/em\u003e. He shows how that book takes up Husserl's method of phenomenology and adapts it. He then introduces and assesses the key arguments of\u003cem\u003e Being and Time\u003c\/em\u003e under three headingspragmatism, existentialism, and temporalityits three levels of analysis of human experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSubsequent chapte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This brilliant book should convince mainstream philosophers that Heidegger is a thinker they cannot ignore or dismiss. Stunningly clear, it serves up existential insights on a silver platter.\"\u003cem\u003e - Iain Thomson, University of New Mexico, USA \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Equally remarkable for its erudition and clarity, this book will prove invaluable for students and scholars looking for guidance through Heidegger’s early and later thought. Richardson’s discussion of \u003cem\u003eBeing and Time\u003c\/em\u003e is particularly ingenious, showing how it progresses through the increasingly profound layers of pragmatism, existentialism, and temporality.
