| | Martin Heidegger [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
 | | In accordance with the phenomenological method of philosophy which he employs, before attempting to provide an answer to the question of being in general, Heidegger ventures to answer the question of being of the particular kind of entity which is the human being - Dasein. |
 | | The vivid phenomenological descriptions of Dasein's being-in-the-world from Being and Time, especially of Dasein's everydayness and resoluteness toward death, have attracted many readers from areas related to existential philosophy, theology and literature. |
 | | Basic concepts of the Heideggerian fundamental work, such as temporality, understanding, historicity, repetition, or authentic and inauthentic existence, were carried over to and further explored in his later works. |
