This is the first English translation of the seminar Martin
Heidegger gave during the Winter of 1934-35, which dealt with
Hegel's Philosophy of Right. This remarkable text is the only one
in which Heidegger interprets Hegel's masterpiece in the tradition
of Continental political philosophy while offering a glimpse into
Heidegger's own political thought following his engagement with
Nazism. It also confronts the ideas of Carl Schmitt, allowing
readers to reconstruct the relation between politics and ontology.
The book is enriched by a collection of interpretations of the
seminar, written by select European and North American political
thinkers and philosophers. Their essays aim to make the seminar
accessible to students of political theory and philosophy, as well
as to open new directions for debating the relation between the two
disciplines. A unique contribution, this volume makes available key
lectures by Heidegger that will interest a wide readership of
students and scholars.

In Four Seminars, Heidegger reviews the entire trajectory of his
thought and offers unique perspectives on fundamental aspects of
his work. First published in French in 1976, these seminars were
translated into German with Heidegger's approval and reissued in
1986 as part of his Gesamtausgabe, volume 15. Topics considered
include the Greek understanding of presence, the ontological
difference, the notion of system in German Idealism, the power of
naming, the problem of technology, danger, and the event.
Heidegger's engagements with his philosophical
forebears-Parmenides, Heraclitus, Kant, and Hegel-continue in
surprising dialogues with his contemporaries-Husserl, Marx, and
Wittgenstein. While providing important insights into how Heidegger
conducted his lectures, these seminars show him in his maturity
reflecting back on his philosophical path. An important text for
understanding contemporary philosophical debates, Four Seminars
provides extraordinarily rich material for students and scholars of
Heidegger. -- Indiana University Press
This volume consists of two lecture series given by Heidegger in
the 1940s and 1950s. The lectures given in Bremen constitute the
first public lectures Heidegger delivered after World War II, when
he was officially banned from teaching. Here, Heidegger openly
resumes thinking that deeply engaged him with Hoelderlin's poetry
and themes developed in his earlier works. In the Freiburg lectures
Heidegger ponders thought itself and freely engages with the German
idealists and Greek thinkers who had provoked him in the past.
Andrew J. Mitchell's translation allows English-speaking readers to
explore important connections with Heidegger's earlier works on
language, logic, and reality. -- Indiana University Press
The 2014 publication of the first three volumes of Martin
Heidegger's Black Notebooks, the philosopher's private writings
from the war years, sparked international controversy. While
Heidegger's engagement with National Socialism was well known, as
were a handful of his private anti-Semitic comments, the Black
Notebooks showed for the first time that this anti-Semitism was not
merely a personal resentment.The notebooks contain not just
anti-Semitic remarks but anti-Semitism deeply embedded in the
language of his thought. In them, Heidegger tried to assign a
philosophical significance to anti-Semitism, with "the Jew" or
"world Judaism" cast as antagonist in his project. How, then, are
we to engage with a philosophy that, no matter how significant,
seems contaminated by anti-Semitism? This book brings together an
international group of scholars from a variety of disciplines to
discuss the ramifications of the Black Notebooks for philosophy and
the humanities at large. Bettina Bergo, Robert Bernasconi, Martin
Gessmann, Sander Gilman, Peter E. Gordon, Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht,
Michael Marder, Eduardo Mendieta, Richard Polt, Tom Rockmore, Peter
Trawny, and Slavoj Zizek discuss issues including anti-Semitism in
the Black Notebooks and Heidegger's thought more broadly, such as
German conceptions of Jews and Judaism, Heidegger's notions of
metaphysics, and anti-Semitism's entanglement with Heidegger's
views on modernity and technology, grappling with material as
provocative as it is deplorable. In contrast to both those who seek
to exonerate Heidegger and those who simply condemn him, and rather
than an all-or-nothing view of Heidegger's anti-Semitism, they urge
careful reading and rereading of his work to turn Heideggerian
thought against itself. These measured and thoughtful responses to
one of the major scandals in the history of philosophy
unflinchingly take up the tangled and contested legacy of
Heideggerian thought.
In 1929, ten years before James Joyce completed "Finnegans Wake",
Sylvia Beach published a strange book with a stranger title: "Our
Exagmination Round His Factification for Incamination of Work in
Progress". Worried by the confusion and attacks that constituted
the general reception of his "Work in Progress" (the working title
for "Finnegans Wake"), Joyce orchestrated this collection of twelve
essays and two 'letters of protest' from such writers as Samuel
Beckett, Stuart Gilbert, Eugene Jolas, Robert McAlmon, and William
Carlos Williams. "Our Exagmination" represents an altogether
unusual hybrid of criticism and advertisement, and since its first
appearance has remained a touchstone as well as a point of
contention for Joyce scholars. Eighty years later, Joyce's
"Disciples Disciplined" reads the "Exagmination" as an integral
part of the larger composition history and interpretive context of
"Finnegans Wake" itself. This new collection of essays by fourteen
outstanding Joycean scholars offers one essay in response to each
of the original "Exagmination" contributions. From philosophically
informed exegeses and new conceptions of international modernism to
considerations of dance, film, and the flourishing field of genetic
studies, these essays together exemplify an interdisciplinary
criticism that is also a lively and ongoing conversation with that
criticism's history.
