Martin Heidegger is one of the most important and influential philosophers of the 20th Century. A major figure in the development of phenomenology, his work also profoundly influenced many of the intellectual movements that followed in his wake, from Sartre{\textquoteright}s Existentialism to Derrida{\textquoteright}s deconstructionism. Towards the Definition of Philosophy brings together two seminal lectures that mark a breakthrough moment in Heidegger{\textquoteright}s thought and introduces the major themes that he would develop in his opus Being and Time.

Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) is regarded as one of the twentieth century{\textquoteright}s most important philosophers.
