Introduction to Phenomenological Research (Studies in Continental Thought) by Martin Heidegger (PDF)

Description

Introduction to Phenomenological Research, volume 17 of Martin Heidegger’s Gesamtausgabe, contains his first lectures given at Marburg in the winter semester of 1923–1924. In these lectures, Heidegger introduces the notion of phenomenology by tracing it back to Aristotle’s treatments of phainomenon and logos. This extensive commentary on Aristotle is an important addition to Heidegger’s ongoing interpretations which accompany his thinking during the period leading up to Being and Time. Additionally, these lectures develop critical differences between Heidegger’s phenomenology and that of Descartes and Husserl and elaborate questions of facticity, everydayness, and flight from existence that are central in his later work. Here, Heidegger dismantles the history of ontology and charts a new course for phenomenology by defining and distinguishing his own methods.

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

⭐This is one of the few, or otherwise none, of the books translated into English dealing with Thomas Aquinas as well as Descartes and Aristotle and Husserl in detail, all of whom are very important to Heidegger, and to others trying to understand him. Hans Kung once noted that Descartes kept a copy of the SUMMA THEOLOGICA near him till the day he died in Sweden. Heidegger tries to show Aquinas started the twist to modernity in philosophy as reflected in Descartes. Unfortunately, the English translation is so garbled – with foreign terms translated into English in such a way that the train of thought is almost always broken, and is always so distorted you cannot possibly understand what the translator was trying to convey. I have found rewriting the most promising sentences out into clear English – all the intrusions of foreign terms in Dahlstrom’s way breaking up the flow of the sentence may not be entirely necessary – but, of course, one runs the risk of distorting the thought one’s own way simply to be able to understand it clearly. It is a clash of normal English versus academia. One is forced to translate the translator. But, on the other hand, he does provide a very important peek at Heidegger’s real relation to Aquinas with whose thought he was personally and deeply involved.

⭐This is a hard read. You don’t know where he is going until you reach the end of the lectures when, as always, everything falls into place. Heidegger was a great teacher, but he insisted on dedicated students who were committed for the long haul. Heidegger rarely disappoints if you stay with him till the end. In reading the early lectures what strikes you is how rigorously consistent his thinking is.

⭐Difficult to read and understand this book the way it’s written.

⭐I am using the phenomenological model of research for my dissertation and I was disappointed to open up this book and find it was not fully translated. It is useful but I am betting more so if it was entirely translated in English
