Knowing and Doing: in Heidegger's "Being and Time" - Hardcover

The extraordinary influence of Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) in Continental philosophy - which in our century some consider comparable only to that of Ludwig Wittgenstein in the analytical tradition - awakens a need for an examination of the theoretical value of his philosophy. Gerold Prauss here offers a restatement of the relation of theory and praxis derived from an analysis of Heidegger's own approach to that relation.

Gerold Prauss is professor of philosophy at Albert Ludwigs University in Freiberg, Germany; he has also taught at the University of Cologne and several other German universities.
