Basic Questions of Philosophy: Selected “Problems” of “Logic” (Studies in Continental Thought) by Martin Heidegger (PDF)

Description

“This excellent translation” presents Heidegger’s mature thought on the essence of Truth as he was writing his major work, Contributions to Philosophy (Library Journal).This is the first English translation of a lecture course Martin Heidegger presented at the University of Freiburg in 1937–1938. Heidegger’s task here is to reassert the question of the essence of truth, not as a “problem” or as a matter of “logic,” but precisely as a genuine philosophical question, in fact the one basic question of philosophy. Thus, this course is about the essence of truth as well as the essence of philosophy itself.On both sides Heidegger draws extensively upon the ancient Greeks, on their understanding of truth as aletheia and their determination of the beginning of philosophy as the disposition of wonder. In addition, these lectures were presented at the time that Heidegger was composing his second magnum opus, Beiträge zur Philosophie, and provide the single best introduction to that complex and crucial text.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐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.)
