In my view Heidegger is the greatest philosopher since Kant, although Nietsche-ites and Wittgenstinians would no doubt disagree. "Being and Time", as anyone who knows anything about philosophy should know, is his magnum opus. He wrote many other works in his long career (mostly lecture transcriptions), but they can all without exception be traced back to concepts originally set out in Being and Time. Despite that and rather strangley, Being and Time is not the place to start a study of Heidegger. His writing is so idiosyncratic that you really must get used to his language first before diving in to this huge work - otherwise you are likely to give up within the first 100 pages, which is unforgiveable. Start instead with the useful "Introducing Heidegger" (ISBN: 1840460881) or the well-written "Heidegger: a beginner's guide" (ISBN: 034080324X). Then progress to the excellent collection of Heidegger's writings in "Basic Writings" (ISBN: 0415101611). Only then would I recommend diving into Being and Time. So what is the significance of Being and Time? To me, its importance lies in its questioning of the premises which the rest of philosophy since Plato has taken for granted. What is the nature of human existence? What does it mean to 'be'? But not only does Heidegger ask these questions, but he provides highly original answers too. And bizarrely - although his language is abstruse and difficult - what he has to say fits remarkably well with common sense. We do not exist as isolated, abstract 'individuals' prior to our introduction to society. Instead we exist as beings situated in a societal context, with hopes, aspirations, regrets and relationships with other people and things. Over the course of 250 or so dense pages, Heidegger systematically deconstructs (yes, he invited deconstruction long before Derrida) the concept of what it is to be an individual that has lain beneath 2000 years of philosophizing, including Descarte's 'cogito ergo sum' principle which provided the foundation for Enlightenment ontology. Then, in the last 150 pages he moves on to the concept of time, again demolishing accepted views in order to gain a more 'primordial' understanding of what it means to be a human being living through a series of 'Moments'. As the blurb to this book says, Being and Time has had a huge influence on fields well beyond philosophy. In particular, his ideas about what it means to live 'authentically' have provided rich pickings for psychology. Discerning readers will also notice resonances with some Eastern philosophical traditions (Taoism and Buddhism in particular), and this particularly interesting line of analysis has been pursued in a number of recent books (see ISBN: 1565181190 and ISBN: 0415140382). In summary - make time for this towering work. You are unlikely to ever read a more profound piece of extended philosophical writing. Review: Far from the madding Crowd - The most profound exploration of 'Dasein' you could possibly read. As a lifelong existentialist I have come late to this book , but am so glad to have found it aged 65. Patient reading is required , and rewarded by understanding and elation. I am on my third or fourth reading now and it gets easier to absorb every time. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 98,803 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 2,609 in Philosophy (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (398) | | Dimensions | 15.24 x 3.25 x 22.86 cm | | Edition | Revised | | ISBN-10 | 1438432763 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1438432762 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 512 pages | | Publication date | 1 July 2010 | | Publisher | State University of New York Press | ## Images ![Being and Time: A Revised Edition of the Stambaugh Translation (SUNY series in Contemporary Continental Philosophy) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JPNXj50VL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A towering work of philosophy *by A***R on 25 June 2003* It is difficult to think of a modern philosopher who wrote as profoundly and originally as Heidegger. In my view Heidegger is the greatest philosopher since Kant, although Nietsche-ites and Wittgenstinians would no doubt disagree. "Being and Time", as anyone who knows anything about philosophy should know, is his magnum opus.

As a lifelong existentialist I have come late to this book , but am so glad to have found it aged 65. Patient reading is required , and rewarded by understanding and elation. I am on my third or fourth reading now and it gets easier to absorb every time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting *by F***Y on 6 February 2013* This book is filled with ideas that are complex and slightly difficult to read, so if you plan to read it in one evening then you may be slightly disappointed. Unless you're Stephen Hawking. Stephen Hawking could do it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Being and Time (Contemporary Contin Philosophy) - A Guide to Heidegger's Being and Time (Contemporary Contin Philosophy) - Being and Nothingness --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/56058913-being-and-time-a-revised-edition-of-the-stambaugh-translation](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/56058913-being-and-time-a-revised-edition-of-the-stambaugh-translation) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
