Heidegger's "Being and Time": Critical Essays

The inclusion of a wide variety of perspectives and especially the first appearance in translation of essays by Grondin, Figal and Thomä, makes this volume an attractive option for class adoption. — Robert Bernasconi, Pennsylvania State University

Richard Polt has gathered here a distinguished international body of Heidegger commentators who together throw important light on what is arguably the single most important work of European philosophy in the Twentieth Century. Ranging over matters both historical and problematic, in voices that are both continental and Anglo-American, Polt has put together what will long stand as an invaluable and indispensable guide to Being and Time. — John D. Caputo, Thomas J. Watson Professor of Religion and Humanities, Syracuse University

An anthology of the first order―twelve highly qualified approaches to the interpretation of Heidegger’s master work, all ‘critical’ in the best sense of the word, de-fining its limits and then either clarifying them or suggesting ways to extend them. Richard Polt’s introduction, with its succinct résumé of the Heidegger text and carefully nuanced summary of each contribution to the reading of it, weaves the collection into a polychromatic whole. — William J. Richardson, Boston College
