Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) was a German philosopher who is widely regarded as one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century. He is known for his work in the field of ontology, the study of being, as well as for his contributions to phenomenology, hermeneutics, and existentialism.
Born in Messkirch, Germany, Heidegger studied theology and philosophy at the University of Freiburg. He later went on to study with the famous philosopher Edmund Husserl, and eventually succeeded him as chair of philosophy at the University of Freiburg.
Heidegger’s most famous work is “Being and Time,” which was published in 1927. In this work, Heidegger explores the nature of human existence and the question of what it means to be. He argues that human existence is fundamentally different from the existence of other beings, and that our understanding of being is shaped by our experience of time.
Heidegger’s later work became increasingly controversial, as he became associated with the Nazi party in Germany. Although he initially expressed support for Hitler and the Nazi party, he later distanced himself from them and his work has been the subject of ongoing debate and controversy.
Despite these controversies, Heidegger’s influence on philosophy and intellectual history has been profound, and his work continues to be studied and debated by scholars around the world.
