Why people recommend it
Being and Time by Martin Heidegger is a monumental and notoriously dense work of twentieth-century philosophy that investigates the fundamental nature of human existence, or Dasein, through the lens of time and mortality. On the Lex Fridman Podcast in August 2020 during episode #117 featuring guest Sheldon Solomon, Solomon humorously and candidly remarked on the sheer difficulty of the text, noting that it took him forty years to successfully read Being and Time. Similarly, on The Joe Rogan Experience in July 2020 during episode #1503 with guest Josh Barnett, Barnett expressed a deep admiration for Heidegger's philosophy. Barnett specifically discussed his affinity for the philosopher's concept of being towards death, acknowledging the profound realization that human mortality is completely inescapable. Across both podcast conversations, speakers engaged with Heidegger not as an easy read, but as an essential, albeit formidable, thinker whose exploration of existence, time, and our ultimate end continues to resonate deeply with intellectuals, scientists, and athletes alike who grapple with the heavy realities of human consciousness and meaning.
