Martin Heidegger was perhaps the most influential philosopher of the century. In many ways, he was a man without a history of life. Once he lectured on Aristotle, he began by saying, "He was born, he worked, he died." I'm afraid it's pretty much the same when it comes to Heidegger. Born in 1889 in southwestern Germany, he worked in the southwest all his life, except for five years in Marburg, where he died on 26 May 1976. During these eighty-six years, however, his ideas shook the entire philosophical community. Heidegger's biography and his intellectual history are actually the same thing. He lived in his mind from beginning to end. Therefore, the biography that is really worth writing can only be a philosophical biography, indicating the source and development of his ideas.
