Abstract

Martin Heidegger is one of the most controversial thinkers of the twentieth century. His writings are notoriously difficult: they both require and reward careful reading. _The Later Heidegger_ introduces and accesses: * Heidegger's life and the background to his later works * The ideas and texts of some of his influential later works, including _The Question concerning Technology, The Origin of the Work of Art_, and _What is Called Thinking?_ * Heidegger's continuing importance to philosophy and contemporary thought
