Schmitt's reputation as an expert on H.',sserl stands him in good stead when he compares Heidegger, especially from a linguistic and conceptual viewpoint, with Husserl. The same holds true for the way he treats or rather does not treat Time and Historicity to which Heidegger devotes the last four chapters and some 135 pages.
To his own peril, Schmitt did not discuss sufficiently such an important issue as Dasein=being-in-the-world.
