Although it was an early unfinished work of his, it has always been regarded as one of the central texts of twentieth-century philosophy. Moreover, there is still much to be gleaned from it. It is therefore entirely fitting, as we approach the centenary of its publication, to issue a companion of this kind. The quality of the contributors and the range of questions that they address are more than equal to the task. They help us not only to appreciate what Heidegger is saying to us in this masterpiece, but also to appropriate it. That seems to me to be one of the hallmarks of the best history of philosophy.' A. W. Moore, St. Hugh's College, Oxford
'This is a well thought out and timely collection of essays which cover all the main themes of Being and Time. The contributors are well-established specialists who, in spite of the considerable existing secondary literature on Heidegger, have managed to find new and interesting interpretations and, notably, to strike a balance between intellectual rigour and accessibility - not an easy feat given that many of Heidegger's writings tend to resist elucidation. Because of this balance, both specialists and students will benefit from reading this volume and be rewarded with up-to-date perspectives on timeless existential themes.' Béatrice Han-Pile, University of Essex
'In this well-curated collection, some of our most influential Heidegger scholars engage lucidly and critically with the best that has so far been written on the central topics and concerns of Being and Time. The result is a significant enrichment of our understanding of them, and a sustained demonstration of the continued vitality of Being and Time's philosophical legacy.' Stephen Mulhall, New College, Oxford
'This is an excellent collection of essays by a group of accomplished scholars on the most central issues in Being and Time: authenticity, anxiety, death, discourse, conscience, normativity, affects, understanding, truth, the status of reason, realism vs anti-realism, and time. I especially appreciate how the essays largely leave behind the analytic-continental divide, in methodology and style. They offer lucid interpretations that will be accessible to a wide philosophical readership, yet do not flatten or distort the text by translating it into terms that lose the originality of Heidegger's thought - a perpetual risk in writing about Heidegger if one wants to avoid simply repeating Heideggerese. At the same time, the contributions highlight the ongoing significance of Being and Time by connecting Heidegger's phenomenological reflections to current philosophical discussions on a range of important topics.' Sonia Sikka, University of Ottawa
