"A new and handy research tool [.] making available to readers a quick overview of key topics in Heidegger's thought, key figures that have played a significant role in Heidegger's thinking, as well as a brief summary of Heidegger's works. [.] A user-friendly tool [.] Dahlstrom puts all his research and scholarship to excellent use in selecting the key terms, the topics, and themes of this dictionary as well as in framing the issue and structuring the presentation. It is a remarkable achievement to be able to provide for each entry an overview of how a certain notion has evolved in Heidegger's thinking, what its different aspects are, and how specific works have reshaped it. Each entry is thus a kind of cross-section of the soil of Heidegger's thought, bringing to the fore a stratified picture of his thought as a whole." -- Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews (of the first edition) "Daniel O.

Dahlstrom's The Heidegger Dictionary is destined to become a standard guide to the key ideas of this influential philosopher, an indispensable reference work for the student and scholar alike. Beginning with a concise and insightful account of Heidegger's path of thought, and ending with clear summaries of important texts, The Heidegger Dictionary is throughout replete with explanations which condense decades of scholarship in a manner that is refreshingly lucid and consistently to the point." -- Bret W. Davis, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Loyola University Maryland, USA (of the first edition) "Far more than a mere lexicon, this volume offers a wealth of interpretations from a highly accomplished scholar. Dahlstrom's introduction is an excellent general orientation to Heidegger's life and writings, while his concise essays on particular concepts, texts, and persons are rich in up-to-date references and thought-provoking insights. Every reader of Heidegger can benefit from this book." -- Richard Polt, Professor of Philosophy, Xavier University, Cincinnati, USA (of the first edition) "Dahlstrom's magisterial study of the core concepts of Heidegger's life's work brings clear and exhaustive explications of all the central themes. Dahlstrom's book is the best introduction to Heidegger on the market today.

It will be essential reading for both beginners and experts." -- Charles Guignon, Professor of Philosophy at the University of South Florida, USA (of the first edition).
