I think Heidegger is best seen in his lectures. My God, what was it like taking a class from that guy? When I read his WORD BY WORD interpretation of Aristotle's Metaphysics Theta 1-3 I was unable to believe that this was done by a human being, more likely an alien with 400 IQ and a five-foot from Andromeda. The brilliance is almost phantasmagoric in its majesty. Ditto for his lectures on the Gospels.
In short, that guy was smart. Without him, the intellectual history of the last 100 years would be deeply impoverished. In fact a quarter of it wouldn't exist.
Sein und Zeit is one of the first books of philosophy I still have. I sold most of them whan I moved from the States, but that one there's no way I can live without. I have to reread it, for like the 10th time now. ;)
