Being and Time (Heidegger)

"Being and Time" by Heidegger explores the nature of human existence, or "Dasein," emphasizing that our understanding of being is shaped by our everyday experiences and choices. Heidegger argues that we often live caught up in routines, unaware of the deeper question of what it means to be. By examining how we confront mortality, freedom, and authenticity, he aims to reveal how our existence is inherently connected to time and our being-in-the-world. Ultimately, the book seeks to deepen our understanding of ourselves and the nature of existence beyond superficial appearances.
