Summary: Not enough terms!
Comment: (1) The book did not cover enough terms. (2) The explaination for each term is too long, almost as long as a chapter.

Is this a dictionary?

Summary: Wost of the series
Comment: Anyone familiar with the Blackwell Philosopher Dictionaries series will be disappointed by this edition from Michael Inwood. As far as I know, Inwood is primarily a Hegel scholar, and the lack of information (breadth and depth) on Heidegger demonstrates that this edition could have been better served by someone more familiar with Heidegger.

Now, Heidegger wrote a lot of books and Inwood doesn't do justice to the rest of Heidegger's oeuvre apart from Being and Time. For example, why is there no section on Heidegger and Leibniz? or Aristotle? or Heraclitus? and so on.

I would imagine that a dictionary of Heidegger should consist of far more pages than this volume which falls well short of 300. For example, Cygill's Kant Dictionary is replete with numerous entries and references to specific texts.

This edition of the dictionary series is in need of a dramatic overhaul.

Heidegger, who was so careful about his works, deserves a far better treatment than we have before us. This edition amounts to no better than a glossery of terms: terse and in many cases uninformative.
