Title: Heidegger a Very Short Introduction: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) by Michael J. Inwood ISBN: 0-19-285410-0 Publisher: Oxford University Press Pub. Date: May, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $9.95 |

Summary: A standard academic treatment of Heidegger.
Comment: This is your standard garden-variety academic treatment of Heidegger, alright so far as it goes, but rather dry reading. One interesting feature is its short 4-page Glossary of Heidegger's German terminology. It also has an index in which one notes the total absence of any mention of Buddhism, Mahayana, Zen, or the 'Tao Te Ching' (a text which Heidegger worked on), despite the fact that Heidegger's thought quite often reminds one of the great Taoist and Buddhist thinkers.
Anyone new to Heidegger who is looking for a good Introductory survey of the man and his thought would do much better to take a look at George Steiner's 'Martin Heidegger.' In contrast to Inwood, Steiner writes with real passion and leaves one with a desire to know more about this amazing thinker. In fact, Steiner's book is so good that you'll probably want to read it again. I was left wishing it had been two or three times longer.

Summary: Best "short" Introduction
Comment: This is the best short introduction to Heidegger's philosophy. The appendix covers a small dictionary on some of Heidegger's terms, which is very helpful for readers.
