Heidegger for Beginners Jeff Collins
This text explores Heidegger's influence on 20th century thought, illustrating his particular importance for deconstruction, existentialism and phenomenology, and his effect on all major strands of post-structuralist and postmodern philosophy. The book debates whether Heidegger was offering a deeply conservative mythology, or whether he was actually "deconstructing" philosophy as the West has known it.
