Description
Daniel O. Dahlstrom’s The Heidegger Dictionary is a detailed and accessible reference guide to the key concepts, terminology, and philosophical ideas in the work of Martin Heidegger, one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century. The book systematically defines and explains Heidegger’s complex and often enigmatic vocabulary, including crucial terms such as Being (Sein), Dasein, Being-toward-death, authenticity, the ontological difference, Ereignis (the event), dwelling, and the fourfold. Dahlstrom traces Heidegger’s philosophical evolution, from Being and Time to his later works, clarifying how Heidegger shifted from existential phenomenology to his meditations on language, technology, and metaphysics. The dictionary also highlights Heidegger’s engagement with key figures such as Aristotle, Kant, Nietzsche, and Hölderlin, demonstrating his profound influence on existentialism, hermeneutics, and postmodern thought. By breaking down Heidegger’s dense and technical language, Dahlstrom provides an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and anyone seeking to understand Heidegger’s radical rethinking of Being and human existence
