Heidegger announced the end of philosophy and was vocal supporter of Nazism. Was he offering a deeply conservative mythology or a crucial deconstruction of philosophy as we have known it? Introducing Heidegger provides an accessible introduction to his notoriously abstruse thinking, mapping out its historical contexts and exploring its contemporary resonances.
