>When Sartre wrote “Being and Nothingness,” with a title echoing Heidegger’s monumental “Being and Time,” Heidegger wrote to its author, “Your work is dominated by an immediate understanding of my philosophy the likes of which I have not previously encountered.” What he said privately, according to the American scholar Hubert Dreyfus, was, “How can I even begin to read this Dreck!”
