Bertrand Russell's only known entry concerning Martin Heidegger. It expresses the sentiments of many 20th-century Analytic philosophers regarding Continental philosophy.
"Martin Heidegger's philosophy is extremely obscure and highly eccentric in its terminology. One cannot help suspecting that language is here running riot. An interesting point in his speculations is the insistence that nothingness is something positive. As with much else in Existentialism, this is a psychological observation made to pass for logic."
— Bertrand Russell, Wisdom of the West: A Historical Survey of Western Philosophy (1959), Ch: XI, Epilogue, p. 303
Image: Martin Heidegger (26 September 1889 – 26 May 1976) was a German philosopher and a seminal thinker in the Continental tradition, particularly within the fields of existential phenomenology and philosophical hermeneutics.
Heidegger's best known book, Being and Time (1927), is considered one of the most important philosophical works of the 20th century. Being and Time had a notable impact on subsequent philosophy, literary theory and many other fields. Though controversial, its stature in intellectual history has been compared with works by Kant and Hegel. The book attempts to revive ontology through an analysis of Dasein, or "being-in-the-world."
Dasein is a German word that means "being there" or "presence" (German: da "there"; sein "to be"), and is often translated into English with the word "existence". Heidegger uses the expression Dasein to refer to the experience of being that is peculiar to human beings. Thus it is a form of being that is aware of and must confront such issues as personhood, mortality and the dilemma or paradox of living in relationship with other humans while being ultimately alone with oneself.
Heidegger maintained that one's way of questioning defines one's nature. He argued that Western thinking had lost sight of being, and that by people finding themselves as "always already" moving within ontological presuppositions, they lose touch with their grasp of being and its truth thus both become "muddled".
Heidegger, in his latter career, wrote and commented extensively on fellow German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Heidegger is a controversial figure, largely for his affiliation with Nazism prior to 1934, for which he publicly neither apologized nor expressed regret, although in private he called it "the biggest stupidity of his life" (die größte Dummheit seines Lebens).
