Martin Heidegger is a German philosopher. He created the doctrine of Being as a fundamental and indefinable, but all involved elements of the universe. His texts were poetic, he often used dialectal German.
Born on September 26 in Messkirch in an ordinary Catholic family. His father worked as a craftsman and a lower clergyman in the Church of St. Martin, and his mother was a peasant. The boy studied at the gymnasiums in Konstanz and Freiburg.
In 1915, Martin graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Freiburg, defended two dissertations - "The Doctrine of Judgment in Psychology" and "The Doctrine of Duns Scott on Categories and Meaning" and went to the army as a rear militiaman-landstormer.
A little later Heidegger worked as a privat-dozent at the university, there he taught the course "The Main Lines of Ancient and Scholastic Philosophy". In the spring of 1917 he married his first student, Prussian Lutheran Elfrida Petri. Two years later they have a son Jorg.
In 1922, Martin moved to the University of Marburg, where he gained great fame, especially after the publication of the treatise “Being and Time”, as well as such works as: “Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics”, “On the Essence of Foundation”, “What is Metaphysics”. In 1928 he returned to Freiburg, a couple of years later became rector of the University of Freiburg, joined the NSDAP and took an active part in the political activities of the country.
Heidegger’s philosophical speeches were aimed at integrating the university into the Nazi state. And in April 1945, when he finds himself in French-occupied territory, he becomes a victim of denazification and by a court decision is suspended from teaching until 1951.
Among the bright works of the philosopher are: “A Letter on Humanism”, collections “Forest Paths”, “Reports and Articles”, “Identity and Difference”, “Towards Language”, lecture courses “What is Thinking?”, two-volume “Nietzsche” and others.
Martin Heidegger died on May 26, 1976. /
