Martin Heidegger

(1889–1976) was a German philosopher whose work is perhaps most readily associated
with phenomenology and existentialism, although his thinking should be identified as part
of such philosophical movements only with extreme care and qualification. His ideas have
exerted a seminal influence on the development of contemporary European philosophy.

century philosophy on the European continent and exerted an enormous
influence on virtually every other humanistic discipline, including literary
criticism, hermeneutics, psychology, and theology.

LIFE WORK

Martin Heidegger's magnum opus was Being and Time (1927), a

revolutionary work that made him internationally famous and changed the
course of 20th-century continental philosophy.
