This "excellent translation" of Heidegger's writings on Hegel shows an essential engagement between two of the foundational thinkers of phenomenology (Phenomenological Reviews).
While Martin Heidegger's writings on Hegel are notoriously difficult, this volume provides a clear and careful translation of two important texts—a treatise on negativity, and a penetrating reading of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit.
In these stimulating...

Ponderings XII–XV is third in a series of four "Black Notebooks" which Martin Heidegger composed in the early years of World War II. As always with Heidegger, the thoughts expressed here are not superficial reflections on current events, but instead penetrate deeply into them in order to contemplate their historical importance. Throughout his ponderings, Heidegger meditates on the call for an antidote to the rampant technological attitude which...

The two lectures translated here were published in 1957 under the title Identitat und Differenz. The sensitive and attentive reader will come away with a feeling that he now knows Heidegger, the man, the teacher, better. Heidegger provides illuminating insights and thoughts on many a vital issue-our technological age, religion, language, history, and more-all of which he touches upon here, if only epigrammatically. What makes Heidegger important is...

Pensar sólo acontece como aprendizaje, pues el pensar mismo está siempre de camino hacia el pensar. Cuando se pregunta «¿qué significa pensar?», no se trata sólo de saber qué se requiere para realizar correctamente el pensamiento, sino de remontarse a aquello que lleva al ser humano imperativamente a pensar. ¿Desde dónde llama este mandato a pensar? ¿Y en qué manera llega esta llamada a la esencia humana? Partiendo de la constatación...

First published in German in 1938 as volume 29/30 of Heidegger's collected works, The Fundamental Concepts of Metaphysics includes an extended treatment of the history of metaphysics and an elaboration of a philosophy of life and nature. Heidegger's concepts of organism, animal behavior, and environment are uniquely developed and defined with intensity. This work, the text of Martin Heidegger's lecture course of 1929/30, is crucial for an understanding...

La presente traducción de Ser y Tiempo-segunda en el mundo de habla castellana-es fruto de veintitrés años de trabajo.

Entre 1973 y 1975 concluyó la primera versión del texto, que el propio Heidegger conoció y aprobó. En 1988 preparó una segunda versión, esta vez en reuniones semanales con el editor de Heidegger...

This recording contains four important and related works by Heidegger: 'What Is Philosophy', 'What Is Metaphysics', 'On the Essence of Truth' and 'The Question of Being'. It starts with 'What Is Philosophy', which originated as a lecture given in Normandy in 1955, and was first published a year later. The translators acknowledge that 'What Is Metaphysics' is often regarded as a particularly key work, they feel that 'a better preliminary understanding'...
