Heidegger, Martin (1889–1976), German
existentialist philosopher. He was a professor at Freiburg from 1929 to 1951. He elaborated a metaphysic of the human person. In
Sein und Zeit (1927; Eng. tr.,
Being and Time, 1962) he uncovers man's temporal being in order to focus on Being in its unity and totality. Man's personal existence (
Dasein: literally ‘there-ness’) is a unique transcendent possibility, which is rooted in immediate, temporal relationships. Authentic existence, facing nothingness, is lived out only in the full acceptance of death. In his later works it seems that Being is intuitively grasped rather than philosophically explored.
