Martin Heidegger, considered by some to be the greatest charlatan ever to claim the title of "philosopher", by some as an apologist for Nazism, and by others as an acknowledged leader in continental philosophy, is probably the most divisive thinker of the 20th century.

In the second edition of this Very Short Introduction audiobook, Michael Inwood focuses on Heidegger's most important work, Being and Time, to explore its major themes of existence in the world, inauthenticity, guilt, destiny, truth, and the nature of time. These themes are then reassessed in the light of Heidegger's multifaceted later thought, and how, despite its diversity, it hangs together as a single, coherent project. Finally, Inwood turns to Heidegger's Nazism and anti-Semitism, to reveal its deep connection with his personality and overall view of philosophy. This is an invaluable guide to the complex and voluminous thought of one of the 20th century's greatest yet most enigmatic philosophers.

Even though I didn't understand all of it, it was a great start to trying to understand Heidegger.

Great intro and overview of Heidegger

I cannot say that all of my questions about Heidegger's philosophy are answered but that's to be expected. Michael Inwood is a very insightful philosopher and does well in his expository endeavors.👍

Good Introduction

The author badly distorts Heidegger to justify his hostility towards him and then does pop psychology at the end for the same. Avoid this if you are interested in Heidegger.

Very Limited and One-sided View

Regurgitating what Heidegger said without explaining it is not an introduction to Heidegger. I want the six hours back.
