The second edition of the Historical Dictionary of Heidegger's Philosophy is an historical perspective on the development of Martin Heidegger's thought in all its nuances and facets. Schalow and Denker cast light on the historical influences that shaped the thinker and his time through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography of key books on Heidegger, appendixes, and a cross-referenced dictionary section offering over 600 entries on concepts, people, works, and technical terms.

Frank Schalow is University Research Professor at the University of New Orleans. Alfred Denker is editor of the Martin-Heidegger-Briefausgabe and co-editor of the Heidegger-Jahrbuch. He is the director of PhiloArt.
