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.
Heidegger's Being and Time: Critical Essays provides a variety of
recent studies of Heidegger's most important work. Twelve prominent
scholars, representing diverse nationalities, generations, and
interpretive approaches deal with general methodological and
ontological questions, particular issues in Heidegger's text, and
the relation between Being and Time and Heidegger's later thought.
All of the essays presented in this volume were never before
available in an English-language anthology. Two of the essays have
never before been published in any language (Dreyfus and Guignon);
three of the essays have never been published in English before
(Grondin, Kisiel, and ThomS), and two of the essays provide
previews of works in progress by major scholars (Dreyfus and
Kisiel).
It can be easily argued that the radical nature and challenge of
Heidegger's thinking is grounded in his early embrace of the
phenomenological method as providing an access to concrete lived
experience (or 'factical life', as he calls it) beyond the
imposition of theoretical constructs such as 'subject' and
'object', 'mind' and 'body'. Yet shortly after the publication of
his ground-breaking work Being and Time, Heidegger appears to
abandon phenomenology as the method of philosophy. Why? Heidegger
is conspicuously quiet on this issue. Here William McNeill examines
the question of the fate of phenomenology in Heidegger's thinking,
and its transformation into a 'thinking of being' that regards its
task as that of 'letting be'. The relation between phenomenology
and 'letting be', McNeill argues, is by no means a straightforward
one. It poses the question of whether, and to what extent,
Heidegger's thought of his middle and late periods still needs
phenomenology in order to accomplish its task-and if so, what kind
of phenomenology. What becomes of phenomenology in the course of
Heidegger's thinking?

The History of Beyng belongs to a series of Martin Heidegger's
reflections from the 1930s that concern how to think about being
not merely as a series of occurrences, but as essentially
historical or fundamentally as an event. Beginning with
Contributions to Philosophy (Of the Event), these texts are
important for their meditations on the oblivion and abandonment of
being, politics, and race, and for their incisive critique of
power, force, and violence. Originally published in 1998 as volume
69 of Heidegger's Complete Works, this English translation opens
new avenues for understanding the trajectory of Heidegger's
thinking during this crucial time.
Martin Heidegger's 1941-1942 lecture course on Friedrich
Hoelderlin's hymn, "Remembrance," delivered immediately following
his confrontation with Nietzsche, lays out a detailed plan for the
interpretation of Hoelderlin's poetry in which remembrance is a
central concern. With its emphasis on the "free use of the
national" and the "holy of the fatherland," the course marks an
important progression in Heidegger's political thought. In addition
to its startlingly innovative analyses of greeting, the festive,
and the dream, the text provides Heidegger's fullest elaboration of
the structure of commemorative thinking in relationship to time and
the possibility of an "other beginning." This English translation
by William McNeill and Julia Ireland completes the series of
Heidegger's major lecture courses on Hoelderlin.
Martin Heidegger s 1934 1935 lectures on Friedrich Holderlin s
hymns "Germania" and "The Rhine" are considered the most
significant among Heidegger s lectures on Holderlin. Coming at a
crucial time in his career, the text illustrates Heidegger s turn
toward language, art, and poetry while reflecting his despair at
his failure to revolutionize the German university and his hope for
a more profound revolution through the German language, guided by
Holderlin s poetry. These lectures are important for understanding
Heidegger s changing relation to politics, his turn toward
Nietzsche, his thinking about the German language, and his
breakthrough to a new kind of poetic thinking. First published in
1980 as volume 39 of Heidegger s Complete Works, this graceful and
rigorous English-language translation will be widely discussed in
continental philosophy and literary theory."

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
In "Europe's Steppe Frontier, "acclaimed historian William H.
McNeill analyzes the process whereby the thinly occupied grasslands
of southeastern Europe were incorporated into the bodies-social of
three great empires: the Ottoman, the Austrian, and the Russian.
McNeill benefits from a New World detachment from the bitter
nationality quarrels of the late nineteenth and early twentieth
century which inspired but also blinded most of the historians of
the region. Moreover, the unique institutional adjustments
southeastern Europeans made to the frontier challenge cast indirect
light upon the peculiarities of the North American frontier
experience.
