Being and Time was published in 1927 during the Weimar period in Germany, a time of political, social and economic turmoil. Heidegger himself did not escape the pressures and his nationalism, and undeniable anti-Semitism in the following decades cast a shadow over the man, but not the work. Being and Time is not coloured by expressions of his later views (unlike other writings) and remains an outstanding document.

Impressive Achievement on the part of the Reader
Revisado: 03-08-25
It is not easy to read Heidegger with evident comprehension, but that is precisely what Martyn Swain does here. I bought this on a whim because it was on sale, and it ended up being the most enjoyable listening experience I've had in years. The fact that Swain understands what he's reading makes it much easier to follow Heidegger's train of thought, and more enjoyable. I especially appreciated the little touches, like the fact that he knows how to pronounce the occasional German, Greek, and Latin correctly. Just a stellar job by the reader. The book itself is absolutely brilliant, and if you steep in the thinking of Division One long enough it can totally transform your outlook on philosophy.

Historians have long told the story of America’s birth as the triumph of Jefferson’s democratic ideals over the aristocratic intentions of Hamilton. Chernow presents an entirely different man, whose legendary ambitions were motivated not merely by self-interest but by passionate patriotism and a stubborn will to build the foundations of American prosperity and power.

Couldn't Make It
Revisado: 11-11-16
What would have made Alexander Hamilton better?
I started listening to this out of an interest in Hamilton's character and personal history. (It was before the broadway show went big.) Chernow's writing is fine, though a little bombastic. The reader was really grating, though. After a thorough attempt, I had to stop, because I couldn't stand listening to it anymore.
What didn’t you like about Scott Brick’s performance?
His intonation never varies from one paragraph to the next. He reads like a poorly trained automaton, and sometimes intones words in a way that makes sentence structure less transparent. This would possibly be forgivable if he didn't also come across as very pompous.
