Heidegger's magnum opus ''Sein und Zeit'' is a long, tedious book that we can't recommend reading (unless you have a brain the size of a planet, in which case, be our guest{{fact|joke}}) because of it's various neologisms and like, impossible prose. We'll summarise it for you (you're welcome). It was written in 1927 and is largely considered influential (apparently it's had impact on architecture? We're not totally sure, but [https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/heidegger/ we'll take Stanford's word for it]).

{{cquote|<i>Nothing quite rivals the prose of his masterpiece Being and Time (1927) in terms of contortions and the sheer number of complex compound German words which the author coined, among them ‘Seinsvergessenheit’ (Forgetfulness of Being), ‘Bodenständigkeit’ (Rootedness-in-soil) and ‘Wesensverfassung’ (Essential Constitution).</i>|||[[God|Alain de Botton]]<ref name=book/>}}
