From his early engagement with phenomenology to his later poetic meditations, Martin Heidegger’s way of thinking is as complex and challenging as it is enchanting and inviting. In his endeavor to revive the question of Being, Heidegger radically reinterpreted the character of philosophy and intimated the hermeneutic nature of human existence, transforming hermeneutics from the conventional exegesis of texts into a pathway of experiencing Being in every corner of philosophy, poetry, and everyday life.

In Heidegger’s Hermeneutics, Egor Falyov explores the development of Heidegger’s hermeneutic philosophizing and traces the method of interpretation that unfolds along its pathways. Shedding light on the turning points of Heidegger’s understanding of Dasein, history, and language, Falyov offers a lucid introduction to Heidegger’s thought as well as a critical study of its nuances and tensions. Weaving together diverse contexts and contentions, this wide-ranging study addresses the crossroads between Heidegger’s hermeneutics and key moments in Western as well as Eastern philosophy, highlighting the enduring relevance of Heidegger’s open-ended interpreting.
