Summary: clear up the confusion
Comment: I am afraid people might get a little confused by the other reviewer's comments. It basically boils down to this: if you are adequately grounded in the most rigorous european and eastern philosophical systems you will probably understand what Heidegger is doing in this book, but if you aren't you won't. It's not for everybody, but it is for those who want to see how far they can go with 20th century philosophy. The book is hard to read, the concepts are hard to grasp, the work is in my opinion worth it if you're asking the questions in the first place. It is not positivism, which is to say it is not easy, which is not to say that it is unintelligible. Some parts may not work for some people, but you'll never know which parts those will be for you unless you read it. Obviously german philosophy doesn't work for everybody, especially for those in the anglo/american 'tradition', since it requires both intense work and intense discipline to get through it. Philosophy was never supposed to be easy. Don't be fooled by those who fall by the wayside then crawl into their holes preferring candlelight to the sun. It's the best book of philosophy written in the 20th century, which is why it's been the most influential.

Summary: To Be Free of Dasein
Comment: Martin Heidegger concept of Dasein (Human or Being There) in relation to BEING & TIME changed my philosophical course. This is Heidegger's Opus written in 1928 should be read after "Intro to Metaphysics" or some of his other smaller easier writings. The book has many great questions & thoughts about how BEING Human is trapped within BEING (Space, Existence) & TIME, but the book gets bogged down with Heidegger's own personal language. In other words; BEING & TIME is as hard to read as the philosophers Hegel or Kant. In the end you may find the need to leave behind any form of Idealism & the many traps of western Philosophical history, or better written: "to become Authentic" & discover your own means or method of thinking.

Summary: Re-orienting Western subjects to the question of objects
Comment: Heidegger undertakes to de-struct our illusions about the meaning (or meaninglessness, as it were) of 'being itself', by way of revealing the artifice of modern human-centered ideas-about-things. He is not 'positing' any definitive answers for us, but rather he is using the artifice of human language to point to ways in which we can reorient ourselves to genuine dis-closures of beings in the actuality of their being. He is calling (in a challenging way) for the renewal of an object-oriented approach from would-be thinkers of all walks. Being and Time is ground zero for the rediscovery of 'first philosophy' and it's powerful relevance to our own way of being...
