The Cambridge Companion to Heidegger's 'Being and Time' contains seventeen chapters by leading scholars of Heidegger. It is a useful reference work for beginning students, but also explores the central themes of Being and Time with a depth that will be of interest to scholars. The Companion begins with a section-by-section overview of Being and Time and a chapter reviewing the genesis of this seminal work. The final chapter situates Being and Time in the context of Heidegger's later work. The remaining chapters examine the core issues of Being and Time, including the question of being, the phenomenology of space, the nature of human being (our relation to others, the importance of moods, the nature of human understanding, language), Heidegger's views on idealism and realism and his position on skepticism and truth, Heidegger's account of authenticity (with a focus on his views on freedom, being toward death, and resoluteness) and the nature of temporality and human historicality. Review: Not the newest - Still well worth a read. The newest one is available at Waterstones. Review: Not really - Not much easier to read than the man himself. I think it persuaded me that this form of philosophy really does not connect with me.

Top quality companion
Some of the best writing for unpacking of the sometimes difficult original reading of Being & Time. Will expand and drive your understanding without tears. Plain writing suitable for academic and non-academic audiences. Highly recommended.

Great book! I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to get into BT for the first time. I would also recommend this to anyone who has already read BT and is looking for an introduction to the secondary literature. The articles picked by Wrathall are very accessible and from very important people in the world of Heidegger scholarship. They help give a sense of what parts of BT are most controversial and the various interpretations offered in the field.
