Toward the beginning of 2013, I received reports of passages in the
Black Notebooks that offered observations on Jewry, or as the case
may be, world Jewry. It immediately became clear to me that the
publication of the Black Notebooks would call forth a wide-spread
international debate. Already in the Spring of 2013, I had asked
Professor Friedrich-Wilhelm von Herrmann, last private assistant -
and in the words of my grandfather, the "chief co-worker of the
complete edition", - if he might review the Notebooks as a whole,
based on his profound insight into the thought of Martin Heidegger,
and in particular, review those Jewish-related passages that were
the focus of the public eye. Publications about the Black Notebooks
quickly came to propagate catchy expressions such as
"being-historical anti-Semitism" and "metaphysical anti-Semitism".
The first question that obviously arises is: Does the thought of
Martin Heidegger exhibit any kind of anti-Semitism at all? In this
book Professor von Herrmann now advances his hermeneutic
explication. With Professor Francesco Alfieri of the Pontificia
Universita Lateranense he has found a colleague who has drawn up a
comprehensive philological analysis of volumes GA 94 through GA 97
of the Complete Edition. The fact that Heidegger designated the
hitherto published "black notebooks" as Ponderings (UEberlegungen)
and as Observations (Anmerkungen) has been given little
consideration. He intentionally placed them at the conclusion of
the Complete Edition because without acquaintance with the
lectures, and above all, with the being-historical treatises that
would come to be published in the framework of the Complete
Edition, they would not be comprehensible. (Arnulf Heidegger)
This book examines the phenomenological anthropology of Edith
Stein. It specifically focuses on the question which Stein
addressed in her work Finite and Eternal Being: What is the
foundational principle that makes the individual unique and
unrepeatable within the human species? Traditional analyses of
Edith Stein’s writings have tended to frame her views on this
issue as being influenced by Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas, while
neglecting her interest in the lesser-known figure of Duns Scotus.
Yet, as this book shows, with regard to the question of
individuality, Stein was critical of Aquinas’ approach, finding
that of Duns Scotus to be more convincing. In order to get to the
heart of Stein’s readings of Duns Scotus, this book looks at her
published writings and her personal correspondence, in addition to
conducting a meticulous analysis of the original codexes on which
her sources were based. Written with diligence and flair, the book
critically evaluates the authenticity of Stein’s sources and
shows how the position of Scotus himself evolved. It highlights the
originality of Stein’s contribution, which was to rediscover the
relevance of Mediaeval scholastic thought and reinterpret it in the
language of the Phenomenological school founded by Edmund Husserl.
