With characteristic lucidity and style, Steiner makes Heidegger's immensely difficult body of work accessible to the general reader. In a new introduction, Steiner addresses language and philosophy and the rise of Nazism.

"It would be hard to imagine a better introduction to the work of philosopher Martin Heidegger." (George Kateb, The New Republic)

Great Steiner prose, a symphony of mixed feelings about a great philosopher but rigid man who looked like the evil Dolph and may even have sympathized with him. Skillful if rapid narration.

I suspect this is probably the best book on Heidegger; but I haven't read enough others yet. George Steiner's abillity to draw on such a broad range of philosophy, theology, poetry and history to his thinking on anything or anyone (in this case Heidegger) is an enrichment which is hard to surpass. I suspect that another book on Heidegger that is this rich would be a rare one. I also wonder if other commentators are able to bring out the same deep themes in Heidegger. "To Think is to Thank."

Deep Themes, Well Shown

This is a solid overview and engagement with the work of Martin Heidegger. The author provides the overview, Heidegger's biography, and the context of this work. The author engages Heidegger. Steiner is both critical of and one to give Heidegger his due. Overall it is a useful and well written book

I got it because pf Heidegger's influence of Sartre and his work. Also, the reader's performance is great.

A solid engagement

This book is truly gorgeous and tantalizing introduction to Heidegger's philosophy. What frustrates me beyond words, however, is the fact that audible still does not carry any of his Heidegger's books. If not the magnum opus, then at least his intro to metaphysics, or indeed any other volume of his lectures? Please, bring Heidegger to audible!

Where is Heidegger on audible?!
