Product Description
Contributions to Philosophy (From Enowning), written in 1936-38 and first published in 1989, is Heidegger's most ground-breaking work after the publication of Time and Being in 1927. If Time and Being is perceived as undermining modern metaphysics, Contributions undertakes to reshape the very project of thinking. In this unusual work, thinking becomes a dimension of time and space, and a historical unfolding of being occurs.

Editorial Reviews
Review
" ... generally regarded as Heidegger's "second chef d'oeuvre"(after Being and Time, 1927), "the hidden source from which [his] later publications flowed forth". "Hidden", since they were not, on Heidegger's instructions, published until 1989, after the appearance of related talks and lectures which would he hoped, "attune" readers to the less tractable, larger work. A translation of the Beitrage has been impatiently awaited by those whose command of German falls short of the considerable mastery required to appreciate Heidegger's puns, neologisms, etymological plays and other rhetorical devices. The style is extraordinary and hypnotic ...Given their difficulties it is unsurprising that the translators kept us waiting ... One can however only admire the fruit of their labour."--TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT, 25 August, 2000 "Publication of this volume is the most important event in Heidegger scholarship since the 1962 publication of the first English translation of Sein und Zeit... it is difficult to imagine that this inventive and highly readable translation of Beitrage zur Philosophie by Emad and Maly will ever be superseded."--Choice
