This volume brings together Kisiel's most important critical and interpretative essays, which can be regarded as a succession of signposts enabling the reader to follow Heidegger in his often difficult path of thinking. At the same time, it is a companion to the author's key work, The Genesis of Heidegger's "Being and Time".

"No one is better than Kisiel in discussing Heidegger. His writings are amongst the very best contemporary work on Heidegger in any language."--Tom Rockmore
