About this audiobook

What if all of Western philosophy missed the most important question? This was the radical and disruptive claim of Martin Heidegger, one of the most influential—and controversial—philosophers of the twentieth century. He argued that for centuries, we have been so busy examining things that exist ("beings") that we have forgotten to ask the most fundamental question of all: What does it mean "to be"? Heidegger's work is notoriously dense and his legacy is complex, but his insights into existence, authenticity, and our relationship with the world are more relevant than ever. This guide finally makes his profound and challenging ideas accessible. Whether you are a student of philosophy or simply a curious mind wrestling with life's biggest questions, this guide provides a clear path into the thought of a difficult but essential thinker.
