Being-In-The-World: A Commentary on Heidegger's Being in Time, Division I by Hubert L. Dreyfus
evan_streeby's review against another edition
5.0
This rating is contingent upon whether Dreyfus’ interpretations are accurate, given the untruths that inevitably occur in translation. I will proceed under the assumption that they are.
A philosophy professor once told me to read Heidegger, because my arguments were, in some rudimentary, uninformed way, similar to his. After finishing this supplement and getting a better grasp on the language, etc. I understand why. I think my whole philosophical adventure thus far has been chasing after this, and I’m grateful I can now proceed with better understanding.
I must add that Heidegger’s philosophy almost necessitates eccentrism and extremism (one could clearly see how his philosophy could endorse gender transitioning, or encourage naziism. Essentially, the breadth of this ontology encompasses all conceivable forms of modesty and radicalism; but often only the latter would be interested in philosophy to begin with, let alone read from one shrouded in as much scandal as Heidegger) so fair ye well all who begin

Hubert L. Dreyfus' work on Heidegger's Being and Time is a must read for anyone looking to encounter Heidegger. While Dreyfus does substitute his own vocabulary (over the already fairly specific vocabulary of Heidegger) his over all work on Heidegger is excellent.
