'''Martin Heidegger''' (1889–1976) was a [[German]] [[philosopher]] whose work is perhaps most readily associated with [[phenomenology]] and [[existentialism]], although his thinking should be identified as part of such philosophical movements only with extreme care and qualification. His ideas have exerted a seminal influence on the development of contemporary European philosophy.<ref name=plato>[https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/heidegger/ Martin Heidegger], ''The Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy''</ref> Heidegger believed that a person's sense of self was dependent on a sense of time and his impending death.<ref>The New American Desk Encyclopedia, Penguin Group, 1989</ref>

According to a supporter: {{cquote|''Throughout his career, he sought to help us live more wisely. He wanted us to be braver about facing up to certain truths, and to lead richer, more thoughtful, happier lives. Philosophy was no academic exercise. It was – as it had been for the Ancient Greeks – a spiritual vocation and a form of therapy. He diagnosed modern humanity as suffering from a number of new diseases of the soul..''|||Alain de Botton}}
