"Whether one is an instructor looking to assign a companion volume to Being and Time on a syllabus, or a student approaching this text for the first time [.] Blattner's introduction will serve you well." -- Brett Buchanan, Philosophy in Review (2009) [Review of 1st edition] "A most welcome expansion that now guides readers through the entirety of Being and Time . Students of Heidegger at all levels will profit from Blattner's expert guidance for making sense of the previously omitted - and notoriously difficult - late chapters on time and temporality." -- David R. Cerbone, Professor of Philosophy, West Virginia University, USA "This second edition of Heidegger's Being and Time retains the features that made the first edition an indispensable resource: astute presentations of the main concepts, lively examples, and telling comparisons with other philosophical approaches. A completely new section on temporality and historicality, with reflections on Heidegger's controversial relation to National Socialism, make this a perfect first choice for readers who want a clear path through Heidegger's most important work." -- Steven Crowell, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, Rice University, USA "This second edition improves upon what was already the best compact but thorough introduction to Heidegger's Being and Time in English.

Blattner's critical interpretation is required reading for anyone who wants to understand what remains one of the most important philosophical works of the twentieth century." -- Taylor Carman, Professor of Philosophy, Barnard College, USA "This is the best introductory guide to Being and Time on the market today. Blattner succeeds in setting out Heidegger's thought with remarkable clarity and precision. Beginning students and scholars alike will find this to be an essential resource for exploring Heidegger's seminal work." -- Mark Wrathall, Professor of Philosophy, University of Oxford, UK.
