About The Book

Fathi Meskini translated the most important work of Martin Heidegger which has profoundly influenced 20th-century philosophy, particularly existentialism, hermeneutics and deconstruction. Hence, this is one of the most important philosophical references to be translated in its entirety to Arabic language for the first time. And Despite the philosophical composition of the original work, the translator was able to present it in a clear, accurate and sophisticated language, in combination with in-text references and footnotes that defines all terms and expressions in Arabic, English and German. The translator is also a professor of German philosophy with a record of authored and translated works in European philosophy, especially German. The Arabic library is in dire need for such a scientific resource which is expected to be a core reference for all Arab scholars of philosophy.
