10' - Being and Time

Alchemy of Self | 1' - 10' Deep Dives - A podcast by Todd's High Impact Reading List

Categories:

This text comprises excerpts from a translated edition of Martin Heidegger's Being and Time. The excerpts showcase Heidegger's philosophical project, which critiques traditional ontology and develops an existential analytic of Dasein, or human existence. Heidegger's analysis focuses on the temporal nature of Being, exploring concepts such as readiness-to-hand, presence-at-hand, and Being-in-the-world. The included notes explain translation choices and reference other philosophers, illustrating the context of Heidegger's work within broader philosophical history. Finally, the text also includes an index of key terms with their English translations, assisting readers in understanding Heidegger's complex vocabulary.
