Available in English for the first time, this first draft of
Heidegger's opus, "Being and Time", provides a unique insight into
Heidegger's Phenomenology. "The Concept of Time" presents
Heidegger's so-called Dilthey review, widely considered the first
draft of his celebrated masterpiece, "Being and Time". Here
Heidegger reveals his deep commitment to Wilhelm Dilthey and Count
Yorck von Wartenburg. He agrees with them that historicity must be
at the centre of the new philosophy to come. However, he also
argues for an ontological approach to history. From this
ontological turn he develops the so-called categories of Dasein.
This work demonstrates Heidegger's indebtedness to Yorck and
Dilthey and gives further evidence to the view that thought about
history is the germ cell of "Being and Time". However, it also
shows that Heidegger's commitment to Dilthey was not without
reservations and that his analysis of Dasein actually employs
Husserl's phenomenology. The work reopens the question of history
in a broader sense, as Heidegger struggles to thematize history
without aligning it with world-historical events. The text also
provides a concise and readable summary of the main themes of
"Being and Time" and as such is an ideal companion to that text.
Basic Problems of Phenomenology presents the first English
translation of Martin Heidegger's early lecture course from the
Winter of 1919/1920, in which he attempts to clarify phenomenology
by looking at the phenomenon of life, which he sees as the primary
area of research for phenomenology. Heidegger investigates the
notions of life and world, and in particular the self-world,
Christianity, and science in an attempt to discern how
phenomenology is the primordial science of life and how
phenomenology can take account of the streaming character of life.
Basic Problems of Phenomenology provides invaluable insights into
the development of Heidegger's thoughts about human existence up to
Being and Time. It also offers a compelling insight into the nature
of the world and our ability to give an account of human life. As
an account of Heidegger's early understanding of life, the text
fills an important gap in the available literature and represents a
crucial contribution to our understanding of the early Heidegger.
This is the first English translation of one of Heidegger's most
important early lecture courses, including his most extensive
treatment of the topic of destruction. "Phenomenology of Intuition
and Expression" is a crucial text for understanding the early
development of Heidegger's thought. This lecture course was
presented in the summer semester of 1920 at the University of
Freiburg. At the center of this course is Heidegger's elaboration
of the meaning and function of the phenomenological destruction. In
no other work by Heidegger do we find as comprehensive a treatment
of the theme of destruction as in this lecture course. Culminating
in a destruction of contemporaneous philosophy in terms of its
understanding of 'life' as a primal phenomenon, this lecture course
can be seen to open the way towards a renewal of the meaning of
philosophy as such. This hugely important philosophical work is now
available in English for the first time.
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the
1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable,
high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
Heidegger's turn to poetry in the latter half of his career is well
known, but his own verse has to date received relatively little
attention. How can we understand Heideggerian poetics without a
thorough reading of the poet's own verse? Thought-Poems offers a
translation of GA81 of Heidegger's collected works, where the
reader can read the German version alongside the English text.
Musical, allusive, engaged deeply with humanity's primordial
relationships, the Gedachtes or thought-poems here translated show
Heidegger's language at its most beautiful, and open new ways to
conceive of the relationship between language and being.
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.
Introduction to Philosophy (volume 27 of Heidegger's Complete
Works) presents Heidegger's lecture course delivered in the winter
semester of 1928-1929 at the University of Freiburg, translated
into English for the first time by William McNeil. In this lecture
series, Heidegger explores two major themes: the relation between
philosophy and science and the relation between philosophy and
Weltanschauung (worldview). Through extensive analyses of truth,
unconcealment, and transcendence, he delves into topics that would
expand into his later work. From being-with and community to the
phenomenon of world and the "play" of world, Heidegger covers a
wide range of philosophical concepts with unprecedented clarity and
profound insight. Introduction to Philosophy offer an encounter
with a true master at work.
Beginning in 1949, the German novelist and essayist Ernst Junger
began a correspondence with the philosopher Martin Heidegger that
lasted until Heidegger's death in 1975. This volume contains the
first English translation of their complete correspondence, as well
as letters from Heidegger's wife and son and others referred to in
their correspondence. It also contains a translation of Junger's
essay Across the Line (UEber die Linie), his contribution to a
Festschrift celebrating Heidegger's sixtieth birthday. Junger's and
Heidegger's correspondence is of enormous historical interest,
revealing how both men came to understand their cultural roles in
post-war Europe. It is valuable as well for showing the emergence
of themes pervasive in Heidegger's post-war thought: his cultural
and political pessimism and his concern with the problem of global
technology. The correspondence also reveals the evolution of a
philosophical friendship between two writers central to twentieth
century European thought, and the mutual influence that friendship
worked on their writing.

This volume consists of over one-hundred epistolary exchanges
between Martin Heidegger and one of his earliest students, Karl
Loewith, who became a renowned and accomplished philosopher in his
own right. The letters span a period of just over fifty years and
range from casual to philosophical in tone. The more
philosophically oriented letters shed important light on the ideas
and writings of both Heidegger and Loewith, while the more casual
letters provide insight into Heidegger the teacher, the man, and
the friend, as well as into Loewith the devoted but reflectively
critical student. By providing previously untranslated materials,
this volume contributes to a greater understanding of the lives and
the work of these two crucially important philosophers.
Additionally, through the various bibliographical and cultural
details that are disclosed along the way, this volume contributes
to a greater understanding of German intellectual and cultural
history during the span of its most challenging and devastating
years.

Heidegger's lectures delivered at the University of Freiburg in
1936 on Schelling's Treatise On Human Freedom came at a crucial
turning point in Heidegger's development. He had just begun his
study to work out the term \u201cEreignis.\u201d Heidegger's
interpretation of Schelling's work reveals a dimension of his
thinking which has never been previously published in English.
While Schelling's philosophy is less known than that of the other
major German Idealists, Fichte and Hegel, he is one of the thinker
with whom Heidegger has the most affinity, making this study
fruitful for an understanding of both philosophers. Heidegger's
interpretation of On Human Freedom is the most straightforward of
the studies to have appeared in English on the Treatise, and is the
only work that is devoted to Schelling in Heidegger's corpus. The
basic problems at stake in Schelling's Treatise lie at the very
heart of the idealist tradition: the question of the compatibility
of the system and individual freedom, the questions of pantheism
and the justification of evil. Schelling was the first thinker in
the rationalist-idealist tradition to grapple seriously with the
problem of evil. These are the great questions of the philosophical
tradition. They lead Schelling and, with him, Heidegger, to
possibilities that come very close to the boundaries of the
idealist tradition. For example, Schelling's concept of the
\u201cgroundless\u201d--what reason can no longer ground and
explain--points back to Jacob Boehme and indirectly forward to the
direction of Heidegger's own inquiry into \u201cBeing.\u201d
Heidegger's reading of Schelling, especially of the topics of evil
and freedom, clearly shows Schelling's influence on Heidegger's
views.
Heidegger's lecture course at the University of Marburg in the
summer of 1925, an early version of Being and Time (1927), offers a
unique glimpse into the motivations that prompted the writing of
this great philosopher's master work and the presuppositions that
gave shape to it. The book embarks upon a provisional description
of what Heidegger calls "Dasein," the field in which both being and
time become manifest. Heidegger analyzes Dasein in its everydayness
in a deepening sequence of terms: being-in-the-world, worldhood,
and care as the being of Dasein. The course ends by sketching the
themes of death and conscience and their relevance to an ontology
that makes the phenomenon of time central. Theodore Kisiel's
outstanding translation premits English-speaking readers to
appreciate the central importance of this text in the development
of Heidegger's thought.
Martin Heidegger's Contributions to Philosophy reflects his famous
philosophical "turning." In this work, Heidegger returns to the
question of being from its inception in Being and Time to a new
questioning of being as event. Heidegger opens up the essential
dimensions of his thinking on the historicality of being that
underlies all of his later writings. Contributions was composed as
a series of private ponderings that were not originally intended
for publication. They are nonlinear and radically at odds with the
traditional understanding of thinking. This translation presents
Heidegger in plain and straightforward terms, allowing surer access
to this new turn in Heidegger's conception of being. -- Indiana

Nature, History, State: 1933-1934 presents the first complete
English-language translation of Heidegger's seminar 'On the Essence
and Concepts of Nature, History and State', together with full
introductory material and interpretive essays by five leading
thinkers and scholars: Robert Bernasconi, Peter Eli Gordon, Marion
Heinz, Theodore Kisiel and Slavoj Zizek. The seminar, which was
held while Heidegger was serving as National Socialist rector of
the University of Freiburg, represents important evidence of the
development of Heidegger's political thought. The text consists of
ten 'protocols' on the seminar sessions, composed by students and
reviewed by Heidegger. The first session's protocol is a rather
personal commentary on the atmosphere in the classroom, but the
remainder have every appearance of being faithful transcripts of
Heidegger's words, in which he raises a variety of fundamental
questions about nature, history and the state. The seminar
culminates in an attempt to sketch a political philosophy that
supports the 'Fuhrer state'. The text is important evidence for
anyone considering the tortured question of Heidegger's Nazism and
its connection to his philosophy in general.
"For an acquaintance with the thought of Heidegger, What Is Called Thinking? is as important as Being and Time. It is the only systematic presentation of the thinker's late philosophy and . . . it is perhaps the most exciting of his books."--Hannah Arendt

On Inception (Hardcover)

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.
This book, the text of Martin Heidegger's lecture course of
1929/30, is crucial for an understanding of Heidegger's transition
from the major work of his early years, Being and Time, to his
later preoccupations with language, truth, and history. First
published in German in 1983 as volume 29/30 of Heidegger s
collected works, The Fundamental Concepts of Metaphysics presents
an extended treatment of the history of metaphysics and an
elaboration of a philosophy of life and nature. Heidegger s
concepts of organism, animal behavior, and environment are uniquely
developed and defined with intensity. Of major interest is
Heidegger's brilliant phenomenological description of the mood of
boredome, which he describes as a "fundamental attunement" of
modern times."

Four Seminars (Paperback)
Martin Heidegger; Translated by Andrew J. Mitchell, Francois Raffoul

Ships in 12 - 17 working days

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
Heraclitus is the first English translation of Volume 55 of Martin
Heidegger's Gesamtausgabe. This important volume consists of two
lecture courses given by Heidegger at the University of Freiburg
over the Summers of 1943 and 1944 on the thought of Heraclitus.
These lectures shed important light on Heidegger's understanding of
Greek thinking, as well as his understanding of Germany, the
history of philosophy, the Western world, and their shared
destinies.
