Good way to get to know Heidegger
I thought this book to be a very thoughtful way for readers to get to know the work of Heidegger. The author portrays Heidegger in a way that you can come to know the person in addition to his work and his thinking. I am and have been a great Heidegger fan. I think Cohn captures the essence of his thought and inserts those great Heidegger quotes that just touch my soul and remind me who I am and what life is about.
There are parts, however, that can be dry, but I will call them less moist. As most Heideggerians know 'that which shines forth from itself' can be both brilliant and dim...nonetheless shining! A good read. I devoured it in one day.
