Daniel O. Dahlstrom Libri

Introduction to Phenomenological Research , volume 17 of Martin Heidegger's Gesamtausgabe, contains his first lectures given at Marburg in the winter semester of 1923–1924. In these lectures, Heidegger introduces the notion of phenomenology by tracing it back to Aristotle's treatments of phainomenon and logos . This extensive commentary on Aristotle is an important addition to Heidegger's ongoing interpretations which accompany his thinking during the period leading up to Being and Time. Additionally, these lectures develop critical differences between Heidegger's phenomenology and that of Descartes and Husserl and elaborate questions of facticity, everydayness, and flight from existence that are central in his later work. Here, Heidegger dismantles the history of ontology and charts a new course for phenomenology by defining and distinguishing his own methods.

Kant's philosophical achievements have long overshadowed those of his German contemporaries, often to the point of concealing his contemporaries' influence upon him. This volume of new essays draws on recent research into the rich complexity of eighteenth-century German thought, examining key figures in the development of aesthetics and art history, the philosophy of history and education, political philosophy, and the philosophy of religion. The essays range over numerous thinkers including Baumgarten, Mendelssohn, Meyer, Winckelmann, Herder, Schiller, Hamann and Fichte, showing how they variously influenced, challenged, and revised Kant's philosophy, at times moving it in novel directions unacceptable to the magister himself. The volume will be valuable for all who are interested in this distinctive period of German philosophy.

"Dealing with a crucial aspect of the philosophy of one of the great thinkers of the twentieth century, this book will be especially important to all scholars and students of Heidegger, whether in philosophy, theology, or literary studies."--BOOK JACKET.

This volume of essays by internationally prominent scholars interprets the full range of Heidegger's thought and major critical interpretations of it. It explores such central themes as hermeneutics, facticity and Ereignis, conscience in Being and Time, freedom in the writings of his period of transition from fundamental ontology, and his mature criticisms of metaphysics and ontotheology. The volume also examines Heidegger's interpretations of other authors, the philosophers Aristotle, Kant and Nietzsche and the poets Rilke, Trakl and George. A final group of essays interprets the critical reception of Heidegger's thought, both in the analytic tradition (Ryle, Carnap, Rorty and Dreyfus) and in France (Derrida and Lévinas). This rich and wide-ranging collection will appeal to all who are interested in the themes, the development and the context of Heidegger's philosophical thought.

Husserl's " Logical Investigations " is designed to help students and specialists work their way through Husserl's expansive text by bringing together in a single volume six self-contained, expository yet critical essays, each the work of an international expert on Husserl's thought and each devoted to a separate Logical Investigation.

The essays trace carefully the histories of the influences of earlier thinkers and their legacies upon later thinkers.

Das logische Vorurteil bezeichnet die weit verbreitete Ansicht, die Wahrheit sei nur im Hinblick auf den „Logos“ als Aussage zu verstehen. Heideggers Verbindung der Seinsfrage mit der Wahrheitsfrage in Sein und Zeit geht aus einer intensiven Auseinandersetzung mit echten (Lotze, Husserl) und angeblichen (Aristoteles) Vertretern dieses Vorurteils hervor, das in seinen Augen die Seinsvergessenheit der abendländischen Philosophie überhaupt besiegelt. Anhand der Marburger Vorlesungen im Sommersemester 1925 und im Wintersemester 1925/26 wird dieses entscheidende Element des frühen Denkweges Heideggers geprüft. Der Autor zeigt, wie die zentrale These Heideggers – die Wahrheit als die Erschlossenheit der Zeitlichkeit (d. h. des Seinssinnes) liege der Aussagewahrheit zugrunde – sich trotz des Anscheins der Aporie sinnvoll aussagen lässt, aber nur, wenn ihr transzendentaler Charakter zu retten ist. Um die Schwierigkeiten einer solchen „Rettungsaktion“ zu verdeutlichen, setzt der Autor sich zum Schluss kritisch mit Tugendhats Kritik an Heideggers frühem Wahrheitsbegriff auseinander sowie mit dem Versuch, diesen Begriff in das Lager des Pragmatismus einzuweisen.
