Heidegger's Being and Time is a complex and daring work that reframes the question of the meaning of being in a time of cultural concern and generational unrest. This great work of the twentieth century invites us to take a philosophical journey that ended known to us as temporary. Our existence is characterized by oscillation between impropriety and property, everyday anonymity and resolution capability, abandonment of self and self reappropriation.

While the first volume of this reader provided an analysis of what Jesus Adrián Escudero called hermeneutics of everyday life-as our relationship with the world and the other is initially governed by the publicly sphere, this volume presents a hermeneutics of itself, raising the possibility of its own existence as a countermovement to the tendency to get carried away by the parameters of everyday life. This perspective fits in with the classical notion of self-care and complies with the maximum pindárica Get to be who you are! Philosophy thus becomes an effective means of self-realization.

Continuing with the analysis of the first volume, the second offers a detailed and systematic of the Second Section of Being and Time comment. It also includes an appendix with conceptual didactic tables and chapter summaries that readers will find useful to unravel the complex thematic and conceptual framework of this capital of contemporary philosophy work.
