Martin Heidegger. Design for living
Description
The monumental treatise Being and Time was published in 1927-the same year as Mein Kampf. This program dispassionately scrutinizes the life and philosophy of Martin Heidegger, describing his rise to intellectual prominence while laying bare the motives for his involvement with the Nazi party. Interviews with his son, Hermann Heidegger; George Steiner, author of an influential critique of his philosophy; Heidegger biographer Hugo Ott; and former pupil Hans-Georg Gadamer provide fresh insights, while reconstructions of key moments in Heidegger's life flesh out the story of a man whose apologists and antagonists are still acrimoniously divided.
