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.

The essays collected in this volume take a new look at the role of
language in the thought of Martin Heidegger to reassess its
significance for contemporary philosophy. They consider such topics
as Heidegger's engagement with the Greeks, expression in language,
poetry, the language of art and politics, and the question of
truth. Heidegger left his unique stamp on language, giving it its
own force and shape, especially with reference to concepts such as
Dasein, understanding, and attunement, which have a distinctive
place in his philosophy. -- Indiana University Press
This book brings a central figure of the early German Romantic
movement--the poet and philosopher Novalis--into dialogue with the
work of Martin Heidegger. Looking beyond the question of direct
influence, the book demonstrates that Novalis and Heidegger pursued
complementary endeavors as thinkers of relation. Implicitly
operative in their thinking, Peter Hanly argues, is an excavation
of the Greek conception of harmonia found in the fragments of the
pre-Socratic thinker Heraclitus. This is a conception that
understands harmony not as concordance but as primal dissonance. It
is this experience of harmonia, Hanly proposes, that allows both
Novalis and Heidegger to think relation in terms of dynamic and
contradictory energies of separation and convergence. Between
Heidegger and Novalis thus is a study of the "in-between,"
associated in Novalis with energies of fertility and productivity
and in Heidegger with energies of agonistic difference. An entirely
new approach to both Novalis and Heidegger, this book will interest
scholars and students engaged with continental philosophy and the
legacy of German Romanticism.
