A knowledge of Heidegger's Sein und Zeit is essential for
anyone who wishes to understand a great deal of recent continental
work in theology as well as philosophy. Yet until this translation
first appeared in 1962, this fundamental work of one of the most
influential European thinkers of the century remained inaccessible
to English readers. In fact the difficulty of Heidegger's thought
was considered to be almost insuperable in the medium of a foreign
language, especially English.
That this view was unduly pessimistic is proved by the
impressive work of John Macquarrie and Edward Robinson who have
succeeded in clothing Heidegger's thought in English without
sacrificing the richness and poetic subtlety of the original.
