## About this book

An Intimations of Mortality: Time, Truth, and Finitude in Heidegger's Thinking of Being, Volume 1, is a scholarly examination of Martin Heidegger's philosophical framework. This work of ontology and German philosophy argues that the theme of finite human existence provides a unifying thread across Heidegger's diverse contributions. The text analyzes how mortality functions as a thinking within anxiety rather than as nihilism, applying these concepts to religion, aesthetics, and social theory.

The book provides a critical close reading of Heidegger's lectures and articles, including materials previously unavailable in English. It explores four primary subthemes: fundamental ontology, the unconcealment of Being, the history of philosophy, and the poetics of mortality. By analyzing the destiny of Being through thinkers like Hegel and Nietzsche, this volume of philosophy helps readers form an independent assessment of traditional philosophical problems.
