Heidegger’s Analytic

This book offers an interpretation of Heidegger’s major work, Being and Time. Unlike those who view Heidegger as an idealist, Taylor Carman argues that Heidegger is best understood as a realist. Amongst the distinctive features of the book are an interpretation explicitly oriented within a Kantian framework (often taken for granted in readings of Heidegger) and an analysis of Dasein in relation to recent theories of intentionality, notably those of Dennett and Searle. Rigorous, jargon-free and deftly argued this book will be necessary reading for all serious students of Heidegger.

• An interpretation of one of the most challenging of twentieth-century philosophical texts, Being and Time • Relates Heidegger’s philosophy to contemporary debates in Anglo-American philosophy • Jargon-free and clearly written
