Knowing and Doing in Heidegger's Being and Time

by Gerold Prauss

"The extraordinary influence of Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) in Continental philosophy - which in our century some consider comparable only to that of Ludwig Wittgenstein in the analytical tradition - awakens a need for an examination of the theoretical value of his philosophy. Gerold Prauss here offers a restatement of the relation of theory and praxis derived from an analysis of Heidegger's own approach to that relation."--Jacket.
