‘Parmenides ’ by Martin Heidegger
Parmenides, the lecture course Martin Heidegger delivered at the University of Freiburg in 1942–1943, stages a decisive and at times unsettling confrontation with the inception of Western thinking. Far from offering a merely historical commentary on a pre-Socratic text, Heidegger treats Parmenides’ so-called didactic poem as a privileged site where the primordial experience of truth…

Thinking in the Light of Time: Heidegger’s Encounter with Hegel
Karin de Boer’s Thinking in the Light of Time: Heidegger’s Encounter with Hegel proposes a tightly structured and quietly ambitious thesis: that the inner unity of Heidegger’s work, early and late, can be made visible if one takes temporality as the guiding thread, and that this same thread allows a renewed, more exact account of…

‘The Beginning of Western Philosophy: Interpretation of Anaximander and Parmenides’ by Martin Heidegger
The distinctive contribution of The Beginning of Western Philosophy lies in its rigorous presentation of an inaugural confrontation between Heidegger’s post–Being and Time reorientation toward the question of Beyng and the earliest preserved articulations in Greek thought that first ventured to let “beings as a whole” emerge into question. Through a close, philologically attentive yet…

The Early Heidegger’s Philosophy of Life: Facticity, Being, and Language
The book’s scholarly stake is exacting and distinctive: it reconstructs, from close readings of lecture courses and manuscripts between 1919 and 1925, how facticity—life in its lived and spoken enactment—serves as the medium through which the early Heidegger makes the question of Being pertinent to human existence and to language. Scott M. Campbell’s contribution lies…

Heidegger and the Will: On the Way to Gelassenheit
The distinctive contribution of Heidegger and the Will: On the Way to Gelassenheit is to relocate the will—willing, deferred willing, covert willing, and the possibility of non-willing—at the very center of Heidegger’s path of thought, and to do so by reconstructing the movement of that path from within Heidegger’s own texts. It shows that the…

Heidegger’s Polemos: From Being to Politics
Heidegger’s Polemos: From Being to Politics undertakes a single, exceptionally focused wager: that the most coherent path through Heidegger’s ontology and into his politics runs by way of a reinterpreted polemos—not as mere “war,” but as Auseinandersetzung, a formative confrontation in which beings, worlds, and peoples are set out and apart, disclosed, and bound to…

Heidegger’s Temporal Idealism
Heidegger’s Temporal Idealism advances a rigorous, intricately argued reconstruction of the temporal architecture at work in Being and Time, and wagers a precise thesis: time as ordinarily understood arises from, and is dependent upon, a more basic manifold—originary temporality—that is constitutive of Dasein’s being. Blattner’s distinctive contribution is to treat this wager as a systematic…

‘Contributions to Philosophy (From Enowning)’ by Martin Heidegger
English translation of Beiträge zur Philosophie GA 65. Heidegger’s second most important work, this book was written during the 1930s but did not become available to the public until 1989. This volume’s distinctive scholarly stake lies in showing how a thinking “from” enowning (Heidegger’s Ereignis) must be enacted rather than reported, and how that enactment…

‘Martin Heidegger at Eighty’ by Hannah Arendt
Martin Heidegger’s eightieth birthday was also the fiftieth anniversary of his public life, which he began not as an author—though he had already published a book on Duns Scotus—but as a university teacher. In barely three or four years since that first solid and interesting but still rather conventional study, he had become so different…

The Role of Mood in Heidegger’s Ontology
The Role of Mood in Heidegger’s Ontology makes a precise and ambitious scholarly wager: if one follows Heidegger’s phenomenological-ontological method to its roots, then mood—formally thematized as Befindlichkeit (situatedness)—must be read as a constitutive condition of how human existence (Dasein) is first opened up to itself and its world. Bruce W. Ballard’s distinctive contribution is…

After Heidegger?
After Heidegger? stakes its claim with uncommon precision: it assembles a deliberately heterogeneous forum of accomplished interlocutors to test whether Heidegger’s thought still provides living questions that can be taken up as one’s own in a philosophically responsible way under conditions shaped by new disclosures—above all the Black Notebooks—and by contemporary exigencies that he neither…

The Question Concerning Techno-Capitalism: Žižek & Heidegger
This book contends, with unusual precision, that Žižek’s corpus becomes intelligible when read as a sustained, immanent confrontation with Heidegger’s finitude and its afterlife in the “question concerning technology,” and that the motor of Žižek’s oeuvre is a structurally unresolved tension between a historicist diagnosis of techno-capitalist ideology and a trans-historic theory of the revolutionary…

A Heidegger Seminar on Hegel’s Differenzschrift
In 1958, Heidegger delivered the lecture “Hegel and the Greeks” at the University of Aix-en-Provence. At the invitation of the poet René Char, he later returned to Provence in 1966, 1968, and 1969 to conduct small, intensive seminars in the village of Le Thor with a circle of French philosophers that included Jean Beaufret and…
