La filosofía no se hace ni se aprende estudiando, sino pensando. Para ello Heidegger propone dos frases de Heráclito y de Nietzsche, y enseñando a pensar sobre ellas, hace ver hasta qué punto el pensamiento de estos filósofos está emparentado con la mecánica cuántica: ?Todos los pensadores piensan lo mismo?, afirmará. En este volumen se presentan por vez primera en castellano las lecciones que Heidegger dio a sus alumnos que comenzaban los estudios de filosofía en el invierno de 1941/1942. Ejercitación en el pensamiento filosófico enseña cómo pensar filosóficamente por uno mismo.

No resulta ninguna novedad afirmar que el rasgo que define el pensamiento de Heidegger es la pregunta por el sentido del ser. Él mismo confirmó este hecho en múltiples declaraciones autobiográficas. Sin embargo, lo que todavía despierta el interés del lector de Ser y tiempo es observar cómo el horizonte de esa pregunta se va perfilando en el contexto de un rico juego de superposiciones filosóficas que, de una u otra manera, recorre el camino que conduce de la vida humana a la cuestión del ser. En este sentido, el presente tratado El concepto de tiempo (1924), que amplía considerablemente la conferencia homónima dictada el mismo año ante la Sociedad Teológica de Marburgo, ofrece una excelente aproximación a la temática heideggeriana que conducirá al lector a través de un sugestivo análisis de los diferentes modos de existencia impropia hasta la posibilidad extrema de la muerte como antesala que coloca al hombre ante el horizonte histórico y temporal de su propio ser.

La Ontología (Hermenéutica de la facticidad), esto es, las lecciones que Heidegger impartió en 1923 en la Universidad de Friburgo, constituyen el origen de dos hitos de la filosofía del siglo XX: por un lado, presentan por primera vez el programa de la hermenéutica de la existencia que culminaría en Ser y tiempo; por otro, constituyen el germen de una fecunda línea de producción filosófica: la hermenéutica contemporánea. Se trata, por tanto, de una obra imprescindible para entender la gestación de una de las filosofías más influyentes de nuestra época. De Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) Alianza Editorial ha publicado también Caminos de bosque, Conceptos fundamentales, Hitos, Fenomenología del espíritu de Hegel, Lógica, Aclaraciones a la poesía de Hölderlin, Prolegómenos para una historia del concepto de tiempo y Los conceptos fundamentales de la metafísica.

Heidegger impartió en la Universidad de Friburgo, en el semestre de invierno de 1929/1930, las lecciones que se editan en este volumen. Estos textos son especialmente interesantes en dos sentidos: por una parte contienen un amplio análisis del aburrimiento, cuestión que sólo trata someramente en la lección inaugural pronunciada en la Universidad de Friburgo ?Qué es metafísica??; y, por otra, ofrece un tratamiento igualmente minucioso del organismo y de la vida, una temática que Heidegger sólo menciona en Ser y tiempo. De Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) Alianza Editorial ha publicado también: Conceptos Fundamentales, Ontología, La fenomenología del espíritu de Hegel, Caminos de bosque, Hitos, Lógica, Aclaraciones a la poesía de Hölderlin y Prolegómenos para una historia del concepto de tiempo.

Basic Concepts of Ancient Philosophy presents a lecture course given by Martin Heidegger in 1926 at the University of Marburg. First published in German as volume 22 of the collected works, the book provides Heidegger's most systematic history of Ancient philosophy beginning with Thales and ending with Aristotle. In this lecture, which coincides with the completion of his most important work, Being and Time, Heidegger is working out a way to sharply differentiate between beings and Being. Richard Rojcewicz's clear and accurate translation offers English-speaking readers valuable insight into Heidegger's views on Ancient thought and concepts such as principle, cause, nature, unity, multiplicity, Logos, truth, science, soul, category, and motion.

Phenomenological Interpretations of Aristotle, the text of a lecture course presented at the University of Freiburg in the winter of 1921–22, was first published in 1985 as volume 61 of Heidegger's collected works. Preceding Being and Time, the work shows Heidegger introducing novel vocabulary as he searches for his genuine philosophical voice. Here, Heidegger first takes up the role of the definition of philosophy and then elaborates a conception of 'factical life,'or human life as it is lived concretely in relation to the world, a relation he calls 'caring.' Heidegger's descriptions of the movement of life are original, striking, and unique to this lecture course. As he works out a phenomenology of factical life, Heidegger lays the groundwork for a phenomenological interpretation of Aristotle, one of the pivotal influences in the development of his philosophy. As an early articulation of Heidegger's thought, this book will be an indispensable resource for scholars and students.

Volume 35 of Heidegger's Complete Works comprises a lecture course given at the University of Freiburg in 1932, five years after the publication of Being and Time. During this period, Heidegger was at the height of his creative powers, which are on full display in this clear and imaginative text. In it, Heidegger leads his students in a close reading of two of the earliest philosophical source documents, fragments by Greek thinkers Anaximander and Parmenides. Heidegger develops their common theme of Being and non-being and shows that the question of Being is indeed the origin of Western philosophy. His engagement with these Greek texts is as much of a return to beginnings as it is a potential reawakening of philosophical wonder and inquiry in the present.

Heidegger’s lectures delivered at the University of Freiburg in 1936 on Schelling’s Treatise On Human Freedom came at a crucial turning point in Heidegger’s development. He had just begun his study to work out the term “Ereignis.” Heidegger’s interpretation of Schelling’s work reveals a dimension of his thinking which has never been previously published in English. While Schelling’s philosophy is less known than that of the other major German Idealists, Fichte and Hegel, he is one of the thinker with whom Heidegger has the most affinity, making this study fruitful for an understanding of both philosophers. Heidegger’s interpretation of On Human Freedom is the most straightforward of the studies to have appeared in English on the Treatise, and is the only work that is devoted to Schelling in Heidegger’s corpus. The basic problems at stake in Schelling’s Treatise lie at the very heart of the idealist tradition: the question of the compatibility of the system and individual freedom, the questions of pantheism and the justification of evil. Schelling was the first thinker in the rationalist-idealist tradition to grapple seriously with the problem of evil. These are the great questions of the philosophical tradition. They lead Schelling and, with him, Heidegger, to possibilities that come very close to the boundaries of the idealist tradition. For example, Schelling’s concept of the “groundless”—what reason can no longer ground and explain—points back to Jacob Boehme and indirectly forward to the direction of Heidegger’s own inquiry into “Being.” Heidegger’s reading of Schelling, especially of the topics of evil and freedom, clearly shows Schelling’s influence on Heidegger’s views.

The texts and notes collected in this volume offer unique insight into the development of Heidegger’s thinking on language and art from the late 1930s to the early 1950s – a tumultuous period both for Heidegger personally and for Germany as a whole. Following Germany’s defeat in World War II, Heidegger was banned from teaching at Freiburg University, where he had been a professor since 1928, and his thinking underwent significant changes as he began to cultivate different modes of silence and non-saying in his philosophy of language. This volume illuminates these shifts and charts the evolution of key terms in Heidegger’s philosophy of language during this key period in the development of his thought. The central theme of Heidegger’s reflections on language in this volume is his repeated engagement with the character of the word, silence and the unsaid, and his rejection of the instrumental conception of language, where he instead prioritized conversation as the “homeland of language.” Alongside references to Hölderlin and von Hofmannsthal and shrewd scrutiny of aural phenomena such as silent thought and speechlessness, speech is demonstrated to be intimately connected to the human essence. In a later section, Heidegger examines the place of art, in particular the plastic arts, and the role of the artist in conjunction with the new industrial landscape and architecture of his time, and in juxtaposition with ancient Greek attitudes to space and the polis. This key work by Heidegger, now available in English for the first time, will be of great interest to students and scholars of philosophy and to anyone interested in Heidegger’s thought.

First published in 1990 as the second part of volume 50 of Heidegger's Complete Works, Introduction to Philosophy presents Heidegger's final lecture course given at the University of Freiburg in 1944 before he was drafted into the German army. While the lecture is incomplete, Heidegger provides a clear and provocative discussion of the relation between philosophy and poetry by analyzing Nietzsche's poetry. Here, Heidegger explores themes such as the home and homelessness, the age of technology, globalization, postmodernity, the philosophy of poetry and language, aesthetics, and the role of philosophy in society. Translated into English for the first time, this text will be of particular interest to those who study Heidegger's politics and political philosophy.

On Inception is a translation of Martin Heidegger's ber den Anfang (GA 70). This work belongs to the crucial period, before and during WWII, when Heidegger was at work on a series of treatises that begins with "Contributions to Philosophy" and includes "The Event" and "The History of Beyng." These works are difficult, even hermetic, but represent a crucial development in Heidegger's thinking. On Inception deepens the investigation underway in the other volumes of the series and provides a unique perspective on Heidegger's thinking of Being and of Event. Here, Heidegger asks, with a greater insistence than anywhere else in his work, what it might mean to think of being as event, and not as presence. Event cannot be thought without the sense of a beginning—an inception—and so, Heidegger insists, we must try to think of being as inception, as fundamentally inceptive. On Inception pursues rigorously the difficult and puzzling implications of this speculation. It does not merely extend work already undertaken but also opens doors onto wholly other pathways.

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 views all things with a dismissive consumer mentality. Although this volume caused quite a scandal when originally published in German due to references to World-Judaism, English readers with access to the full text can now judge for themselves what Heidegger means in his use of that term. In style, this notebook is less aphoristic and more sustained than the previous ones, but remains probing, challenging, and fascinating.
