On Heidegger's Being and Time

The audience for this book is post grad philosophy students. That wasn't clear to me before I bought it. I was hoping for some exposition of Heidegger's ideas but the experience was incredibly frustrating and disappointing from beginning to end; I am none the wiser. This is the sort of wanky bullshit that gives philosophologists (ref Pirsig's distinction between philosophy and philosophology) a bad name. If philosophy doesn't give the average man a tool or perspective with which to more powerfully meet the challenges and opportunities of the world then it fails. This book failed me.
