"Heidegger's writings are among the most formidable in recent philosophy. The pivotal concepts of his thought are for many the source of both fascination and frustration. Yet any student of philosophy needs to become acquainted with Heidegger's thought. ""Martin Heidegger: Key Concepts"" is designed to facilitate this. Each chapter introduces and explains a key Heideggerian concept, or a cluster of closely related concepts. Together, the chapters cover the full range of Heidegger's thought in its early, middle, and later phases."

Many of the essays here offer the best interpretation of Heidegger's key concepts, and from leading scholars in the field."" - Robert Metcalf, University of Colorado Denver ""This volume goes straight to the heart of the difficulty one finds in reading Heidegger by addressing and clarifying Heidegger's 'basic' concepts. These essays will be beneficial to all who take Heidegger seriously."" - Dennis J. Schmidt, The Pennsylvania State University ""Puzzled by Heidegger's central concepts? This book takes you clearly and concisely into some of the darkest thickets of his thinking."" - David Wood, Vanderbilt University"
