OMG do really people read philosphy in English? What a joke

I have the first, but one needs at least a novice understanding of Plato, Aristotle, and Nietzsche to understand Heidegger, and that requires knowing Greek and German..

Depends what kind of reader you are. If you find philosophy hard, go with the Stambaugh first and the Macquarrie and Robinson, if you are decent'y versed in how to deal with a translation, do the reverse, and only use Stambaugh for interest/contrast's sake.

In any case you're going to want to make your own edits, crossing out their word and putting in your own.

You don't absolutely NEED to speak both languages, but you will be severly hindered in your reading if you don't at least a conversational level of German, and have been doing philosophy long enough to have picked up a lot of Greek words.

I speak both, but am a native English speaker.

For reading the Robinson, there are a few things to keep in mind. The first is that any translated word is going to be inferior to the German, and getting in the habit of thinking of the German word whenever you come across a special term is always helpful as Heidegger likes to play a lot Etymological games.

Also, cross out 'the "they"' whenever you see it and almost always put 'the 'one"', or even better das Man.

The only term that comes to mind that might be better in the Stambaugh is befindlichkeit translated as attunement. I find this still to breezy and still misses the "how one 'finds' oneself" connotations that are so important, but state-of-mind is just horrible and brings to mind way too much Cartesianism and scientism.

>If you find philosophy hard
if you find philosophy hard, don't bother with Heidegger, more like.

Polanyi might give you something similar and be more digestible.

who the fuck is Heidegger and what's he on about?

if i read this will it allow me to be able to hunt wizards alongside joseph ratzinger?

I thought the they had to do with how you imagine others perceive you, or what is societally expected of you.

Any recommendation as to what concepts/works are key or do I need a general knowledge of each philosopher?
