Martin Heidegger
German philosopher whose work on Being and Time revolutionized phenomenology and existentialism. Heidegger's concepts of Dasein, Being-toward-death, and the question of Being itself reshaped continental philosophy. His later work on technology, language, and poetry explored humanity's relationship with the modern world. Despite controversies regarding his Nazi affiliations, Heidegger remains one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century.
