Martin Heidegger - Was ist Zeit?

Published in 1927, 'Sein und Zeit' (Being and Time) is Martin Heidegger's magnum opus and a cornerstone of existential philosophy. The book delves into the fundamental question of the meaning of Being, particularly through the analysis of Dasein (being-in-the-world). Heidegger rejects traditional Western ontology's static view of human existence and instead emphasizes the dynamic and temporal nature of being. The work is divided into two main parts: the 'Preparatory Fundamental Analysis of Dasein' and 'Dasein and Temporality'. It introduces key concepts such as 'authenticity', 'care', and the significance of death in understanding human existence. Despite its complexity and the planned but never completed second volume, 'Being and Time' has had a profound impact on philosophy, literary theory, and various other fields.
