First edition, off-print, of Heidegger's main work, "Being and Time", -one of the most influential philosophical works of the 20th century, and most likely the most influential work of continental philosophy in the 20th century. This is the special printing of the first appearance of the work. It was published in "Jahrbuch für Phänomenologie und phänomenologische Forschung", edited by Edmund Husserl, also in 1927, and the special edition appeared simultaneously. The work was issued in original wrappers and in publisher's cloth binding. This is the original cloth-binding issue. The work is difficult to find in good condition.

"Sein und Zeit" is without doubt Heidegger's most important work, and it is also his first significant academic work; it earned him the professorship at the University of Freiburg. Because of this work, Heidegger's contribution to the world of continental philosophy must be said to be unsurpassed.
