The Mars Hill Symposium has a short biography and intro to Heidegger, with an emphasis on angst.

Heidegger, trapped in the negativity of the aura of angst as his authenticating reality, needed desperately to break out of this suffocating shackle, into some form of positive focus that could give this life a new legitimacy. Thus, he blindly leaps by faith in asserting language, the logos, as sameness with Being.

Others, of course, disagree with that interpretation, and understand Heidegger's way of thinking without blind leaps.  ¶ 12:54 PM
