On Inception is a translation of Martin Heidegger's ber den Anfang
(GA 70). This work belongs to the crucial period, before and during
WWII, when Heidegger was at work on a series of treatises that
begins with "Contributions to Philosophy" and includes "The Event"
and "The History of Beyng." These works are difficult, even
hermetic, but represent a crucial development in Heidegger's
thinking. On Inception deepens the investigation underway in the
other volumes of the series and provides a unique perspective on
Heidegger's thinking of Being and of Event. Here, Heidegger asks,
with a greater insistence than anywhere else in his work, what it
might mean to think of being as event, and not as presence. Event
cannot be thought without the sense of a beginning—an
inception—and so, Heidegger insists, we must try to think of
being as inception, as fundamentally inceptive. On Inception
pursues rigorously the difficult and puzzling implications of this
speculation. It does not merely extend work already undertaken but
also opens doors onto wholly other pathways.
