Review: On Time and Being


On Time and Being
On Time and Being by Martin Heidegger

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Heidegger signals his fundamental metaphysical shift when he reverses the terms from his seminal Being and Time to Time and Being. To appreciate this change in direction, one needs to have read Heidegger's journey through metaphysics.

In Time and Being Heidegger comes to the conclusion that dasein is ontologically a temporal being.

Anyone familiar with Heidegger's fourfold ontology and/or with his previous metaphysics will immediately recognize the significance of this later philosophical position.
