Summary: For analytically minded readers
Comment: Richard Polt's little book joins a growing array of little books promising to "introduce" Heidegger and adds to a sadly growing list of "analytic-style" readings.
One caveat: if one is able to read Heidegger on one's own, this book will do more harm than good. If one is not quite up to the challenge of reading Heidegger, this book will not help.
Rating: 5
Summary: Best introduction to Heidegger's philosophy in depth.
Comment: The is the best introductionary book to Heidegger's philosophy I know. If this book is too long for you, the second best choice is Inwood's book, "Heidegger." The concepts of the intrepretations on Heidegger's ideas in Polt's book are very clear. Polt's entry on the "nothingness" is interesting, though I don't completely agree.
Rating: 2
Summary: A Dissenting opinion
Comment: I am unable to agree with the other reviewers, probably because I am closer to being your 'average' reader. I am not a philosophy specialist. Also, Polt tells you good and plain that you should be concurrently reading "Being and Time", and using his book as a secondary text. Nope, I am not going to read Heidegger's translated prose.
I also ordered Hubert Dreyfuss' "Being-in-the-World", and I am cheerfully cruising through it at one chapter per day, and I am getting a lot out of this reading experience. Polt for beginners? No way.
