Cliff Hays (cliffhays) | 3 comments What is/are your favorite Heidegger book(s) or essay(s)?

Mine is by far Being and Time, with the essay "What is Metaphysics?" (a good translation of which can be found in Existentialism from Dostoevsky to Sartre) coming in a very close second.

Ian | 8 comments It's so hard to say what my favorite is. His writing style and focus connects everything he writes. His lecture on 'Parmenides' was amazing, he sat there hermeneutically justified a lot of the Greek references he makes. 'On Time and Being', is a shorty, and also amazing. From what I understand you can start to see his shift of focus from formal indication and more towards his later or mid style.

I do love 'What is Metaphysics', can you believe how important the concept of Phusis is? And his hermeneutics of it as a bringing forth of being!
