Being and Time

In this engaging audiobook, Professor Taylor Carman presents an insightful introduction to Martin Heidegger's influential work, Being and Time, hailed as one of the 20th century's philosophical masterpieces. He contextualizes the challenges of this profound text, which explores the question of existence through the concept of Dasein, or 'being there,' while examining themes like authenticity, the nature of time, and human anxiety. Published in the politically turbulent Weimar Republic, the essence of Being and Time stands independent of Heidegger's later controversial views, making this recording a valuable exploration for those seeking to understand existentialism's critical evolution. The audiobook features a reading by Martyn Swain and is based on the translation by John Macquarrie and Edward Robinson.
