A major publishing event! I first heard about Joan Stambaugh's new translation of Being and Time . . . I think it was the late 70s or early eighties. Now completed and finally available, this will be the definitive translation of one of the most important and influential philosophical texts of the twentieth century. Regardless of the controversy surrounding its author, Being and Time's influence on literary theory, psychoanalysis, and philosophy is unmistakable. Replacing the 1962 translation published by Harper and Row in 1962, this edition captures the vital relation to language the animates Heidegger's original and takes into account the research done on Heidegger over the last three decades.
