Born In London in 1944, Michael Inwood studied classics and specialised in philosophy at University College, Oxford. He was Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy at Trinity College, Oxford, from 1967 until 2011, and is now an Emeritus Fellow of the College. Inwood is the author of several books on German philosophy, including A Heidegger Dictionary (Wiley-Blackwell, 1999), and, in 2018, completed a translation of Hegel's The Phenomenology of Spirit (OUP).
This antidote to the bafflement with which Heidegger's writings are
often received is authored with exemplary clarity. Incisive and
accessible, Inwoods cool-headed clarifications will be welcomed
both inside and outside philosophy. * Stephen Priest, Research
Fellow in Philosophy of Science and Philosophy of Religion,
Catholic Faculty of Theology, Ruhr Universitat Bochum *
This is the best short introduction to Heidegger, written by one of
the most prominent experts in the field. It is particularly strong
on the early and middle Heidegger, including the question of Being
and the essence of truth and art. * Edward Kanterian, author of
Kant, God and Metaphysics *
Review from previous edition Inwood's work is a fine little book; a
transparent window onto Heidegger that renders him fascinating and
profound.' * John Shand, Philosophical Books *
