Summary
The present collection brings together for the first time in English a series of key texts by Martin Heidegger published in German under the title Wegmarken. Together the texts span more than forty years of Heidegger's thought, and include some of his most important and best-known writings. Not all of the texts were originally conceived as essays; rather, they encompass a range of genres that also includes critical review, public address, letter, contribution to a commemorative Festschrift, and edited excerpts from a lecture course. The reference section at the end of the volume provides further details of the original format, date of publication, and subsequent editions of each piece.
In addition to bringing together in a single volume revised and updated versions of existing translations, the present volume includes translations of several texts previously unavailable in English: Heidegger's review of Karl Jaspers's Psychology of Worldviews (1919/21), his edited excerpts “From the Last Marburg Lecture Course” (1928), and the essay “Hegel and the Greeks” (1958). A number of new translations also appear here for the first time: “On the Essence of Ground” (1929), “Plato's Doctrine of Truth” (1931/32, 1940), “Postscript to ‘What Is Metaphysics?’” (1943), and “On the Question of Being” (1955).
The present volume is a translation of volume 9 of the Gesamtausgabe, or Complete Edition of Heidegger's works, published by Vittorio Klostermann (Frankfurt am Main, 1976).
