Heidegger's masterpiece is Being & Time, and any understanding of postmodern philosophy requires a serious reading of the text. Here I introduce the text by an in-depth exploration of the first part of his introduction of the text. With an eye toward the most important themes still to come in the text, I provide readers with the requisite amount of knowledge leading up to the second part of the introduction regarding the "deconstruction" of the Western tradition of metaphysics that I will take up in a forthcoming lecture.
