A revised translation of Heidegger’s most important work.

The publication in 1927 of Martin Heidegger’s magnum opus signaled an intellectual event of the first order and had an impact in fields far beyond that of philosophy proper. Being and Timehas long been recognized as a landmark work of the twentieth century for its original analyses of the character of philosophic inquiry and the relation of the possibility of such inquiry to the human situation. Still provocative and much disputed, Heidegger’s text has been taken as the inspiration for a variety of innovative movements in fields ranging from psychoanalysis, literary theory, and existentialism to ethics, hermeneutics, and theology. A work that disturbs the traditions of philosophizing that it inherits, Being and Time raises questions about the end of philosophy and the possibilities for thinking liberated from the presumptions of metaphysics.

The Stambaugh translation captures the vitality of the language and thinking animating Heidegger’s original text. It is also the most comprehensive edition insofar as it includes the marginal notes made by Heidegger in his own copy of Being and Time, and takes into account the many changes that he made in the final German edition of 1976. The revisions to the original translation correct ambiguities and problems that have become apparent since the translation first appeared. Bracketed German words have also been liberally inserted both to clarify and highlight words and connections that are difficult to translate, and to link this translation more closely to the German text. This definitive edition will serve the needs of scholars well acquainted with Heidegger’s work and of students approaching Heidegger for the first time.

Praise for the original edition

“Stambaugh’s new version has large virtues, and improves on the only alternative … [It] is best suited to beginning or general audiences … These will find its spare and unobtrusive apparatus, which lets the text stand out more simply on its own and not bristling with flagged complications, a decisive virtue … As a supplement or for comparison, or as a vehicle for reacquainting oneself with the work, it gives excellent service.” — TLS

“This new translation … offers the text in a more precise and understandable English than earlier editions.” — Library Journal

“Stambaugh’s greatest merit as a translator is her ability to render the most difficult of Heidegger’s prose … into an English that remains both elegant and as faithful as possible to the original … The bilingual glossary and index in the back are marvelously helpful … Any translation of Sein und Zeit cannot help being a welcome contribution, even a significant landmark, within the world of Heidegger scholarship.” — MLN

Who, What and Why I am answered succinctly or why Facebook is a waste of time

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 16, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is the single most important book for me for which I have ever read. The first time I read this book about a year ago it was a struggle and I only got the pieces of the story and didn't get the whole. Upon my second reading and after having dipped my toes into many other philosophy books, I now realized that Heidiegger is an incredibly good writer and he knows how to tell his story coherently. I am not a philosopher. Heidegger is not necessarily abstruse after a first reading.

Dasein, the being (thing) that takes a stand on its own being is unlike any other being in the universe. That kind of being always has in its background a variation of the the three big questions along the lines about our design (where did I come from), purpose (what am I supposed to do) and reason (where does my purpose lie). All three questions presuppose the existence of a self as a human being (Dasein). Hence the question of the most interesting being of all, our own being.

Heidegger starts the book with Hegel (consciousness is the 'indeterminate immediate') and ends the book with Hegel (time as now, but Heidegger is clearly not happy with that either). Hegel's 'Phenomenology of Mind (Spirit)' is my second favorite book and I read it (and his Logic) after I had read 'Being and Time' the first time. Hegel uses the abstract to explain the abstract and uses a dialectic (thesis, antithesis, synthesis) to bring it to reality (at least his version of reality).

Heidegger does something different. He'll start with things but end with time as if he wanted to do that all along, but he ends the book murkily because he is not comfortable with time. Einstein takes time out of the universe (as Parmenides does) through his 'block universe'. Einstein's original sin (his words) was entwining the absolute speed of light with a physical clock (Bergson knows this and does get cited in this book and Einstein 'theory of relativity' gets cited in a footnote but mostly to explicitly ignore it). Heidegger wants to put becoming back into the world and does his best at trying.

I want to get to the reason why I love this book so much. Dasein is thrown into the world and we lose our authentic selves because the "they", the idle chatter (gossip, Facebook), the entanglement, and the atunement (mood of the world) takes us away from our ownmost, nonrelational (never relating to death), and inseparable self. The self that allows us to understand most appropriately.

Dasein is always in guilt from the anxiety and fear from the potential being ahead of death that we all have. The guilt can be thought of as the debt we always owe ourselves because we know that we will die (Camus' 'the absurd'). An analogy I came up with that would not have been possible in 1927 is that the debt we have is similar to the near violation of the conservation of matter that happens when a virtual particle is created in space. The particle is created and near simultaneously (but not quite at the exact time) an anti-particle is created and it is destroyed unless this happens on the horizon of a black hole. The particle that is originally created only exists in the emptiness of space as long as it knows that a debt must be paid leading to its own annihilation. Otherwise, the particle could not exist without violating a conservation law.

It is our authentic existence that makes Dasein care (our conscience calls ourselves). The worldviews we have are a 'facon de parler' (convenient fiction). The book "Sapiens" gets this point. Heidegger states "that science has its origins in authentic existence", but "I will not show that in this book". He'll speak of history as a science to show that how we understand history is analogous to how we experience ourselves. Dilthey's 'generations' which is footnoted and I looked up to confirm that it meant the cohorts that we're put in with make us partly who we become, often less authentic.

I usually detest (maybe loathe is a better word) self help books ("The Purpose Driven Life" is probably the single worst book I've ever read). I've never have seen a better self help book than this book. Our purpose for life lies within understanding our own understand of being in the world and understanding the variation to the three big questions. This book has that and also provides insights and justifications into why I think the way I do. I just love his insult at people who say "I don't have the time", they, according to him (and me) are inauthentic irresolute' because the person who understands will have 'anticipatory resoluteness' and always make time appropriately.

Appropriately is how we must lead our ownmost being. Our ethical, moral, and ontological (in a way, philosophical) views come from our understanding, discourse, attunement and entanglement with being in the world and is up to us to grab onto our authentic selves. As Heidegger says, 'speaking a lot about something does not in the least guarantee that understanding is thus furthered". So therefore, I'll stop writing about why I love this book so much.

This book is a conversation you engage in.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 15, 2019

Verified Purchase

In 1996 I bought the John Macquarrie translation of 'Being and Time' by Martin Heidegger and have read it 76 times over the past 20 years. I bought the Joan Stambaugh translation because she translates the greek symbols into english for a better understanding of Heidegger.
Back to the conversation.
In the beginning I was reading 'Being and Time' as if it was a book and had an author (subject/object thinking). Somewhere around the 70th reading it came to me that there was no book, no printing on the page, and no author. There is no 'subject' (me) or 'object' (the book). The only thing present was me be-ing the conversation that I was already engaged in. Martin Heidegger did a masterful job of laying out the conversation so I didn't miss anything. Be-ing the conversation has allowed me to strip away enough presuppositions forced on me by the entanglement of the world (Heidegger calls it falling) and begin to recognize my own 'thinking'.
In 'Being and Time' Heidegger mentions that there is discovering (un-covering) and covering (Covering Your A__ (CYA). 'Falling' into the world's entanglement is how we deny accountability, hide in the crowd, and choose mediocrity (the status quo).
By participating in the conversation (reading 'Being and Time') multiple times over 20 years I have 'distanced' myself from the world's entanglement and 4 months after my 70th birthday I'm actually beginning to get a sense of who I am.
If you're getting a sense of what I'm talking about then buy the book and engage in your own conversation.
In 1996 I typed out the 387-page 'Being and Time', imported it into a Nook e-reader and read 'Being and Time' 76 times over 20 years.
I suggest you do the same. However, I implore you to get a Kindle. The Kindle store has numerous books by Heidegger which you can download including 'Being and Time'.
Because the Stambaugh translation does a better job of translating 'Being and Time' I would like to download it to my Kindle Oasis without having to type the book. However, the Stambaugh translation isn't available for Kindle yet.
If you're reading this you are on the product page for the book. Could you scroll up (or down) to "Product Details" (on the left side of the page) and then look over to the right side of the page and find "Tell the Publisher!" and click on "I'd like to read this book on Kindle".
Maybe, together we can make this happen

Highly recommendable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 23, 2020

Martin Heidegger is well known for being both controversial and complex, and his magnum opus, Being and Time, is widely recognised as being one of the most difficult philosophical texts to read. Now, I don’t know if I`m missing the point or its complexity has just washed straight over me, but I found that this translation was nowhere near as difficult to read as I had been led to expect.

Although Heideggerian concepts are entirely unfamiliar to anyone who has not read his work before, I don’t think he does a bad job of explaining himself -even if only in the most basic way- and the glossary of Heideggerian lexicon at the back of this addition comes in handy. I will say that having read many works by the Spanish philosopher Jose Ortega y Gasset (who is often compared with Heidegger) may have familiarized me with some of the main concepts in Heideggerian philosophy, so I`d recommend that anyone looking at Heidegger takes the time to read Ortega as well.

It also goes without saying that having an introductory text to Heidegger (there are some free ones for anyone subscribed to Amazon Prime) close by will certainly come in useful. Overall, however, I don’t think that understanding Heidegger`s philosophy is any more difficult than getting to know any other discipline or subject one has no prior familiarity with and, despite the controversy that surrounds him, I think his philosophy has a lot to offer us in the present.

In addition to being a good translation, the cover is lovely (even though I can’t read the poem) and the overall presentation and quality of the book are good. Highly recommendable in my opinion.

The approach in this translation of a notoriously difficult and transcendental book is all round top tier. A lengthy introduction and notes on specific German words work as partial tuition to Heideggers profound philosophy. Aesthetically the volume is pleasing to the eye, glossy, eye catching and a unique size, suitable for posing in coffee shops to impress any naive prospective love interest.

Amazon Printing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 9, 2021

This is not a review of the Stambaugh translation, but of the quality of the product received.

The copy received notes on the very last page that it was printed in GB by Amazon. The quality of the print itself is fine - perfectly readable and clear. The quality of the cover and the binding though...it's not good. The cover design is a highly compressed copy of the original which looks awful. It's a shame as the SUNY design is quite attractive, but the text on the front, the leaves and the blurb all look washed out and blurry. The design also appears to have been the one used for the larger format hardcover as a small amount of text has been cut - what should read "Philosophy" in the top left corner instead reads "hilosophy". This doesn't appear to be a one-off either, as the barcode (which has obviously been added/updated for Amazon's purposes) is crystal clear.

The binding is fine and actually looks quite durable, but mine seems to have come split down the middle as though half the pages bend one way and half the other. I'm sure this could be ironed out with some weights, but it points to the quality control going on here.

Overall, the book feels as cheap as any other reprint and i have returned it. Instead, I'll look for an original print. Although I only ordered the Stambaugh as I thought it was a good price for what would ultimately be a supplement to my existing Macquarrie and Robinson, the author and translator both deserve a whole lot more than this.

If these arguably trivial concerns do not bother you, then it is a perfectly readable and usable text.

A Being or being or Being?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 11, 2018

Verified Purchase

I have to admit I struggled with this one. I'm researching teh topic of Nihilism for a novel I'm working on, and the meaning of Being is a fantastic kicking off point, but unless you're a serious philosophy scholar (I'm casual at best) it may be worth researching around the original text, because Heidegger is a long way from being accessible. There were points here where I felt like my brain was eating itself and that my own Being was in some danger. So anyway, I ended up pulling 'The Philosophy of Heidegger' by Michael Watts out of the British Library, and that gave me exactly what I needed, and that or similar may be the easier option for the faint of heart such as myself.

Nonacademic translation

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

An ok translation by itself, but prioritises the translation over academically recognised jargon, which makes it very difficult to read in a philosophical context without another translation nearby... Phrases like 'present at hand' and 'ready to hand' weren't present and I found them particularly difficult to sniff out based on Stanbaugh's text... Overall, good for those interested in the subject but lacking on an academic level :(
