Martin Heidegger
In his lucid introduction to this recording, Professor Taylor Carman declares unequivocally that Being and Time by Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) is ‘one of the great masterpieces of 20th century philosophy.’ And that is despite the fact that it is unquestionably a challenging listen. But by placing it in its historical context - the key work on existentialism between Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) and Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) - it becomes much easier to approach.
As Professor Carman explains, ‘Being and Time addresses a seemingly simple question: What does it mean to be?’ As far as we know, human beings are the only existing things ‘with an understanding of what it is for something to exist’ and, furthermore, are aware of their own existence. Heidegger chose the German word Dasein - existence: literally ‘being there’ - instead of more common expressions such as man, human being, soul, consciousness, etc. And he embarks upon his investigation, considering ‘being there in-the-world, in time (past, present, future); discussing ‘authentic’ and ‘inauthentic’ living and dying; and the acceptance of impermanence. ‘Dasein’s existence is pervaded by a primordial kind of anxiety (Angst)’, Carman remarks, but points out that the concept of care is central to Heidegger’s view: ‘to be a human being is to care about something’.
Being and Time was published in 1927 during the Weimar period in Germany, a time of political, social and economic turmoil. Heidegger himself did not escape the pressures, and his nationalism and undeniable anti-Semitism in the following decades cast a shadow over the man, but not the work. Being and Time is not coloured by expressions of his later views (unlike other writings) and remains an outstanding document.
This recording opens with Professor Carman reading his introduction. Being and Time is read by Martyn Swain.

BT attempts to take on the history of western metaphysics as a project of covering over what was immediate and alive in human experience, resulting in a certain technological regime of Modernity and arguably what comes after, posthuman concepts that push the linguistic materials of our present, still-emerging Techne to the level of an all-encompassing prison.
The ideas of BT look at the experience of anxiety as a natural feeling of falling in relation to authentic modes of being that transcend language and linguistic conceptions to break through to the core of human potentiality and a living sense of wonder on the Earth. In so doing, Heidegger is ultimately trying to achieve what Nietzsche arguably fails at: the redemption of the Earth as a scene of something heroically worthwhile, which in this case, is the charted victory of the authentically heroic over the mundane compromise of Modernity's many vapid, unimaginative and utterly life-annulling "certainties", among which are the disregard for the ancient virtues, and therefore all virtuous action, and such as "dangerously" seeing the Real without the aid of our now-digitized precession of the image of what is said to have happened, said by and for the They, as what One does, what One thinks, based upon what One has heard -- that all-encompassing, abstract One that is heard everywhere and sees nothing for what it ever is for the subject in its true and utterly private authenticity.
Wonderful book. Clipped, persnickety reader.

Look up Jade Vine on YouTube, watch Part 1 before (or after) reading this book. The description of the book and the definitions will help alot.
Heidegger used his own language for nouns, adjectives, and verbs in writing about "Being" so that the words wouldn't be conflated as most words are.
Being is a word meaning encompassing aspects. Reality is a Being. Beauty is Being. Adventure is Being. As Dasein is a human being Being-in-the-world, "there"
If you take your time and let this book reveal itself to you, it is an awarding experience.
The answer overall is "To Be" that is the amswer.

Before hearing this performance of B&T, I could not imagine how it would be possible to listen to such a dense text in a recording. But I'm finding that, to my amazement, that it's actually easier to follow the recording than the printed text. Mr Swain's reading brings out the structure of Heidegger's ideas with beautiful clarity. Add to that, that Mr Swain pronounces German and Greek fluently, and I think he deserves some kind of a medal. Bravo!
Amazing performance!!
