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.
