Contributions to Philosophy / Studies in Continental Thought (ePub)

“For those who want to think rigorously with Heidegger and with the movement of thinking set forth in Contributions, Vallega-Neu’s book will prove to be an invaluable guide and resource. One of the great virtues of the book is its impeccable clarity and readability.” —Peter Warnek, University of Oregon
 
“I had tried to study the Contributions before, but I found it impossible. Now, thanks to this new translation, I have access to what may turn out to be the most important philosophical work of our time.” —Bruce Ledewitz, Duquesne University
 
“Contributions is among the most challenging works of our time: rigorous, it is also acrobatic in its leaps and logic; imaginative, it is nonetheless precise; intensely self-reflexive, it engages far-reaching questions. Its greatest challenge though is its language and the new vocabulary it forges. This new translation meets that challenge and so marks a real advance in our understanding of this impossible, yet indispensable book.” —Dennis J. Schmidt, Pennsylvania State University
 
“Written during the dark years 1936-1938, these Contributions help us to make the transition from Heidegger’s masterpiece, Being and Time, to his later thinking. Some of the darkest pages Heidegger wrote are here, and also some of the most brilliant. The translation by Richard Rojcewicz and Daniela Vallega-Neu is judicious and inspired.” —David Farrell Krell, DePaul University
