'''''Being and Time''''' ({{langx|de|Sein und Zeit|links=no}}) is the 1927 ''[[magnum opus]]'' of German philosopher [[Martin Heidegger]] and a key document of [[existentialism]]. ''Being and Time'' had a notable impact on subsequent philosophy, [[literary theory]] and many other fields. Though controversial, its stature in [[intellectual history]] has been compared with works by [[Immanuel Kant]] and [[G. W. F. Hegel]]. The book attempts to revive [[ontology]] through an analysis of [[Dasein]], or "being-in-the-world." It is also noted for an array of [[Heideggerian terminology|neologisms]] and complex language, as well as an extended treatment of "[[authenticity (philosophy)|authenticity]]" as a means to grasp and confront the unique and finite possibilities of the individual.
