He was also a member of the [[Nazi Party]] insofar as he was the rector at Freiburg University during the Nazi rule of Germany; something he later referred to as his 'political error'.
    
His major work was ''Being and Time'' (1927) which was fundamental in the development of existentialism - and many other strands of twentieth century thought - although Heidegger himself denied he was an existentialist.
