Title: Basics of Heidegger Explained
Review: This book is excellent for the beginner who does not understand the basics of Heidegger. Everything from Dasein to the concept of rebirth of Being and what went wrong with the Modern Philosophical tradition is listed here in cartoon form. It is a book similar to that of Donald Palmer's Looking at Philosophy: The Unbearable Heaviness of Philosophy made lighter. It skims the surface of Heideggerian thought and introduces the novice to most of the terms used by Heidegger in his philosophy. Sometimes it is profound, but it is basically meant for the beginner as a springboard for Heideggerian thought.
