Great Introduction to Heidegger's Contributions to Philosophy,
By
This review is from: Basic Questions of Philosophy: Selected "Problems" of "Logic" (Studies in Continental Thought) (Hardcover)
Heidegger gave this lecture course in the Winter semester 1937-1938 while he was finishing his second masterpiece, Contributions to Philosophy. It elaborates many of the themes of that difficult work in a more lucid style. (Unfortunately not all of the themes of Contributions are elaborated here, e.g. "the last god" is noticeably absent.) Herrmann, the editor of the German edition of both volumes, recommends it as the best introduction to Contributions. However, even if one is not interested in that other work, this lecture course is an excellent (also clear, concise) example of the later Heidegger.
About the translation--although no translation is perfect and Heidegger's German presents many difficulties, the translators do an admirable job. One criticism however: they do not distinguish "Sein" from Heidegger's other spelling "Seyn" in their translation, choosing to translate both by the generic "Being." (Other translators will distinguish the two as Be-ing/Being or Beyng/Being.) |
