Supplements

Martin Heidegger

Description

This indispensable volume adds for the first time a comprehensive anthology of the most important of Martin Heidegger's recently discovered early essays. Translated by preeminent Heidegger scholars, these supplements to Heidegger's published corpus are drawn from his long series of early experimental, constantly supplemental attempts at rethinking philosophy. Written during 1910–1925, they precede Being and Time and point beyond to Heidegger's later writings, when his famous "turn" took, in part, the form of a "return" to his earliest writings.

Included are discussions of Nietzschean modernism, the mind's intentional relation to being and the problem of the external world, the concept of time in the human and natural sciences, the medieval theory of the categories of being, Jaspers's Kierkegaardian philosophy of existence and its relation to Husserl's phenomenology, being and factical life in Aristotle, the being of man and God in Luther's primal Christianity, and the relevance of Dilthey's philosophy of history for a new conception of ontology. A detailed chronological overview of Heidegger's early education, teaching, research, and publications is also included.

Acknowledgments

I am grateful to my co-translators who generously and patiently worked on this project through the last ten years, especially Charles Bambach on whom I relied for important editorial advice. I also wish to thank Thomas Sheehan, who first effectively opened up research on Heidegger’s earliest thought in the English- speaking world, for his generous and valuable suggestions. We owe a debt of gratitude to Hermann Heidegger, executor of Martin Heidegger’s literary estate, for his encouragement and assistance throughout the nineties to make this collection of his father’s earliest writings available in the English-speaking world, echoing his decision announced in the April 1984 prospectus for his father’sGesamtausgabethat writings from the Early Freiburg Period would be published as “a supplement.” We are also grateful to Dennis Schmidt, editor of the Contemporary Continental Philosophy Series, and acquisitions editor Jane Bunker for their support, labors, and patience in waiting for this follow-up volume that was announced in my first edited volume in this series,Reading Heidegger From the Start(1994). We wish to thank the following publishers and journals for granting the permissions that are spelled out in Chapter 1: Vittorio Klostermann Verlag; N. G. Elwert Verlag; Cambridge University Press; Dr. Frithjof Rodi, editor of the Dilthey-Jahrbuch;Wolfe Mays, editor of theJournal of the British Society for Phe- nomenology; Graduate Faculty Philosophy Journal;andMan and World. Thanks are also due to David Farrell Krell and William McNeill for arrang- ing to have my translation “Comments on Karl Jaspers’Psychology of Worldviews” appear roughly simultaneously in Heidegger’sPathmarkspublished by Cam- bridge University Press and in the present volume. I also wish to express my gratitude to the Dean of Fordham College, Jef- frey von Arx, and the Vice-President of Academic Affairs, John Hollwitz, for sup- porting the completion of this project with a faculty fellowship, leave of absence,
