Book Description
A new translation directly from the original manuscript of Hegel's Thesis defense at the University of Tübingen in 1793. Written in Latin, German and Schwabish, this is the first manuscript published under Hegel's name . "De Ecclesiae Wirtembergicae renascentis calamitatibus" translates to "On the Calamities of the Renaissance of the Württemberg Church". This work is an extensive analysis of Medieval metaphysics, the core and radical reformations including analysis of Melanchton's works, and the political toil in the Kingdom of Württemberg, now Baden-Württemberg. In June 1793, Hegel and Hölderlin had to defend the work of the then chancellor of the University of Tübingen with seven other students of the Tübingen monastery in order to be admitted to the theological consistorial examination in autumn 1793. This is the only publication in which both names appear together. Hegel's name is the first defendant on the document, and Rosenkranz considered De Ecclesiae ... to be a work by Hegel: "He [Hegel] wrote in the manner of Spittler's and Plank's with thorough source research, which goes into the smallest details in the notes, a treatise: De ecclesiae Wirtembergicae ... He defended it in June.”

Hegel's Concept of Experience
Author: Martin Heidegger
Publisher: Livraria Press
ISBN: 3989882562
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 163
Book Description
A new translation of Heidegger's early work "Hegel's Concept of Experience", which is one of the 6 major essays of the work "Holzwege" originally published in 1914. This edition contains a new afterword by the Translator, a timeline of Heidegger's life and works, a philosophic index of core Heideggerian concepts and a guide for Existentialist terminology across 19th and 20th century Existentialists. This translation is designed for readability and accessibility to Heidegger's enigmatic and dense philosophy. Complex and specific philosophic terms are translated as literally as possible and academic footnotes have been removed to ensure easy reading. Heidegger interprets Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, focusing on the dialectical structure of experience (in German "Erfahrung"). He discusses how Hegel's notion of experience involves a historical and phenomenological unfolding in which consciousness evolves through various stages of self-awareness and self-alienation, ultimately leading to absolute knowledge. Heidegger critically examines this process and its implications for understanding being and truth. The collection this paper comes from, Holzwege, is second only to "Being and Time" in fame. Here he levies some of his most perceptive commentary on Hegel, Descartes, Nietzsche, Anaximander, Rilke, and Hölderlin. Wood Paths consists of a collection of essays that reflect on philosophical and existential questions through the analysis of art, poetry, and history. The original German title "Holzwege" refers to the logging paths in German forests, which anyone who's hiked in Germany knows are always dead-ends. Hence, this is sometimes translated as "dead ends" or "logging roads" or "Off the Beaten Track" or something along those lines, as this is what the title means- the dead end trails of philosophy and the inherent obscurity of the pursuit of Being. Heidegger uses these essays to explore his ontological inquiries, particularly the nature of being and the relationship between human beings and the world around them.

Introduction to the Phenomenology of Religion
Author: Martin Heidegger
Publisher: Livraria Press
ISBN: 3989882678
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
A new translation of Martin Heidegger's early work "Introduction to the Phenomenology of Religion'' (original German title "Einleitung in Die Phanomenologie der Religion"), originally published in 1921. This edition contains a new afterword by the Translator, a timeline of Heidegger's life and works, a philosophic index of core Heideggerian concepts and a guide for terminology across 19th and 20th century Existentialists. This translation is designed for readability and accessibility to Heidegger's enigmatic and dense philosophy. Complex and specific philosophic terms are translated as literally as possible and academic footnotes have been removed to ensure easy reading. In the winter semester of 1920/21 at the University of Freiburg, Heidegger delivered a lecture titled "Introduction to the Phenomenology of Religion." Although the original lecture manuscript is lost, five sets of notes from students (Oskar Becker, Helene Weiß, Franz-Josef Brecht, and others) have allowed for a partial reconstruction of the lecture. The notes reveal that Heidegger's lecture can be divided into two distinct parts, separated by a hiatus on November 30, 1920, due to unspecified objections. Oskar Becker's notes, in particular, indicate the interruption and the shift from a "Methodical Introduction" to a "Phenomenological Explication of Concrete Religious Phenomena." This work is largely Exegetical as he examines Biblical passages utilizing a range of texts, utilizing a range of translations and tracing the slight differences including Erasmus' Novum Testamentum Graece cum apparatu critico ex editionibus et libris used by Melanchthon. Heidegger uses his distinctive phenomenological methodology to deconstruct religious experience, analyzing its fundamental elements and its significance for human existence. He ventures beyond traditional theological inquiry, integrating phenomenological, psychological, and historical dimensions to explore the nature of religion. Heidegger's approach is not a cataloguing of religious beliefs or practices, but rather an in-depth examination of the nature of religious experience, its impact on human consciousness, and its existential significance. This work is emblematic of Heidegger's broader philosophical project, which seeks to understand the fundamental nature of Being, Dasein, and Existence through the examination of various human experiences, including religion. The influence of Kierkegaard is palpable in this work in his rejection of the Positivist English Empiricist line of thought.

The Basic Problems of Phenomenology
Author: Martin Heidegger
Publisher: Livraria Press
ISBN:
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 605
Book Description
A new translation of Martin Heidegger's early work "The Basic Problems of Phenomenology" (original German "Die Grundprobleme der Phänomenologie"), originally published in 1926. This edition contains a new afterword by the Translator, a timeline of Heidegger's life and works, a philosophic index of core Heideggerian concepts and a guide for terminology across 19th and 20th century Existentialists. This translation is designed for readability and accessibility to Heidegger's enigmatic and dense philosophy. Complex and specific philosophic terms are translated as literally as possible and academic footnotes have been removed to ensure easy reading. In this lecture, which focuses on the central theme of the third section of Part I of "Being and Time," Martin Heidegger explores the fundamental ontological question of the meaning of being. He emphasizes the role of "time" as the horizon that shapes our understanding of being. This exploration of the "temporality of being" is presented in a historically oriented approach, indicating that Heidegger's inquiry into the question of being is rooted in the broader tradition of metaphysical-ontological questioning rather than existential-philosophical or consciousness-phenomenological motives. While the lecture covers only the first part and the first chapter of the second part of the original plan, it provides insights into the unelaborated aspects of Heidegger's thought. The most significant chapter for discussing "Time and Being" is undoubtedly the first chapter of the second part, where the concept of the "ontological difference" is introduced for the first time, marking a pivotal moment in Heidegger's philosophical development. Integral to this philosophical exploration is the concept of ontology, which is presented as the backbone of phenomenological study. The paper rigorously analyzes the ontological dimensions and positions them as central to the understanding of phenomenology. This ontological focus is not limited to a narrow interpretation, but encompasses various facets, including the relationship between being and existence, the distinction between different modes of being, and the critical examination of traditional ontological theses. The complexity of the paper's discourse is evident in its treatment of phenomenology not as a mere philosophical subset, but as a methodological approach that encompasses the entire spectrum of scientific philosophy. This comprehensive approach extends to the evaluation of phenomenology's methodological aspects, where the paper examines phenomenology's triple methodological character, comprising reduction, construction, and destruction. This tripartite methodology underscores the depth and breadth of phenomenological inquiry and reaffirms its position as a fundamental tool in philosophical research.

Duns Scotus' Doctrine of Categories and Meaning
Author: Martin Heidegger
Publisher: Livraria Press
ISBN: 3989882600

Pages : 261
Book Description
A new translation of Heidegger's Ph.D. Thesis on Duns Scotus. This edition contains a new afterword by the Translator, a timeline of Heidegger's life and works, a philosophic index of core Heideggerian concepts and a guide for terminology across 19th and 20th century Existentialists. This translation is designed for readability and accessibility to Heidegger's enigmatic and dense philosophy. Complex and specific philosophic terms are translated as literally as possible and academic footnotes have been removed to ensure easy reading. Martin Heidegger's dissertation on Duns Scotus, entitled "Duns Scotus' Doctrine of Categories and Meaning" (original German: "Die Kategorien- und Bedeutungslehre des Duns Scotus"), was originally submitted as a doctoral dissertation in 1915. Heidegger analyses Scotus's doctrine of categories and provides a detailed explanation of the Grammatica Speculativa, a work of medieval grammar now known to have been written by Thomas of Erfurt. This work is significant because it represents an early foray into Heidegger's lifelong philosophical concerns, particularly the question of being in the guise of the problem of categories and the question of language in the guise of the doctrine of meaning. Heidegger adopts a historical-philosophical approach, meticulously analysing and interpreting Duns Scotus' theories in the context of both medieval scholasticism and modern philosophical thought. He stresses the need to go beyond a purely historical analysis and to engage with the systematic philosophical content inherent in Scotus' work. Here Heidegger places a strong emphasis on categorisation, not just as an intellectual exercise, but as a critical tool for understanding the structure of reality and knowledge. The analysis delves into the nuances of Scotus' categories, exploring their implications for the conceptualisation of reality and the formation of meaning. This exploration is grounded in a clear understanding of the historical development of these ideas, providing a rich context for their appreciation and critique.

Notes on Karl Jasper’s “Psychology of World Approaches”

Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
A new translation of Martin Heidegger's early work "Notes on Karl Jasper’s Psychology of World Approaches", originally published in 1919. This edition contains a new afterword by the Translator, a timeline of Heidegger's life and works, a philosophic index of core Heideggerian concepts and a guide for terminology across 19th and 20th century Existentialists. This translation is designed for readability and accessibility to Heidegger's enigmatic and dense philosophy. Complex and specific philosophic terms are translated as literally as possible and academic footnotes have been removed to ensure easy reading. Heidegger explores Jaspers' concept of worldview psychology, which seeks to understand human mental and spiritual being in its comprehensive totality. Heidegger critically engages with Jaspers' exploration of the limits of the soul's life and how this leads to a clearer overall horizon for understanding the soul. Heidegger's approach is characterized by his typical philosophical depth, focusing on the methodological aspects and fundamental implications of Jaspers' work. Heidegger examines how Jaspers' psychology attempts to provide clarifications and possibilities for self-contemplation, emphasizing its philosophical rather than scientific nature. Heidegger also critiques Jaspers' approach to psychology from a philosophical perspective, questioning the basic assumptions and methods employed. He discusses the role of Weltanschauungspsychologie in understanding mental positions, processes, and stages, and how this effort is consistent with philosophical inquiry. Heidegger's analysis is not only a critique of Jaspers' psychological theories, but also a broader inquiry into the nature of human understanding and the role of psychology in this process. He reflects on the limitations and potential biases in Jaspers' approach, particularly in how it frames and interprets human existence and consciousness. Throughout the paper, Heidegger's examination is deeply rooted in his own philosophical framework, using his own distinctive terminology and concepts to dissect and understand Jaspers' psychological approach.

The History of Philosophy from Thomas Aquinas to Kant
Author: Martin Heidegger
Publisher: Livraria Press
ISBN: 3989882724

Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
A new translation of Martin Heidegger's early work "The History of Philosophy from Thomas Aquinas to Kant" (original German "Die Vorlesung Geschichte der Philosophie von Thomas von Aquin bis Kant"), originally published in 1926. This edition contains a new afterword by the Translator, a timeline of Heidegger's life and works, a philosophic index of core Heideggerian concepts and a guide for terminology across 19th and 20th century Existentialists. This translation is designed for readability and accessibility to Heidegger's enigmatic and dense philosophy. Complex and specific philosophic terms are translated as literally as possible and academic footnotes have been removed to ensure easy reading. It begins by situating Thomas Aquinas in the philosophical lineage, not to emphasize the Middle Ages or Catholic thought per se, but to trace the development of philosophical problems and methods from Aquinas to Kant. The paper emphasizes Aquinas's central role in consolidating general metaphysics through his interpretation of Aristotle, thereby laying the groundwork for subsequent philosophical developments. The narrative then moves on to examine the philosophical transformations initiated by Descartes, highlighting his introduction of the ego as a new principle of consciousness and reason. This shift marks a significant departure from medieval philosophical themes and sets the stage for the modern era of philosophy. The paper emphasizes how these new directions in philosophy, while breaking away from medieval thought, still carried forward fundamental ontological concerns. It also examines how these evolving philosophical approaches, particularly through figures such as Spinoza, Leibniz, and Kant, grappled with the nature of being, existence, and the systematic pursuit of knowledge. Throughout the text, the focus is on the continuity and transformation of fundamental philosophical problems, rather than a mere succession of opinions or theories. The work contextualizes these shifts within broader intellectual movements, including the transition from medieval to modern thought and the deepening exploration of metaphysical questions. The analysis of Kant's work, especially his Critique of Pure Reason, is presented as the culmination of these philosophical developments, bringing new depth and complexity to the understanding of metaphysical problems. In sum, the paper provides a detailed historical and conceptual mapping of the philosophical journey from Aquinas to Kant, emphasizing the enduring and evolving nature of fundamental philosophical inquiry.

A new translation of Heidegger's early work "The Realities Problem in Modern Philosophy '', originally published in 1912 under the German title "Das Realitats Problem in der Modernen Philosophie". This edition contains a new afterword by the Translator, a timeline of Heidegger's life and works, a philosophic index of core Heideggerian concepts and a guide for Existentialist terminology across 19th and 20th century Existentialists. This translation is designed for readability and accessibility to Heidegger's enigmatic and dense philosophy. Complex and specific philosophic terms are translated as literally as possible and academic footnotes have been removed to ensure easy reading. This work is critical to understand his initial approach to Ontochronology, leading to his advanced theories on the Phenomenology of Time in his major work "Being and Time". Heidegger argues here that time in the historical sciences is not a homogeneous, mathematical series as it is in physics, but rather a qualitative, context-dependent concept. He emphasises the importance of understanding time in relation to the specific aims and methodologies of historical science, and posits that time in history has a unique meaning and function, deeply bound up with the cultural and human context of historical events. This approach reflects a broader philosophical inquiry into the nature of being and temporality that Heidegger would develop in his later works. Metaphysics has triumphed over Rationalism and Empiricism as the only field that is vectored towards "the only question that matters".

Phenomenology and Theology

Pages : 94
Book Description
A new translation of Martin Heidegger's early work "Phenomenology and Theology", originally published in 1927. This edition contains a new afterword by the Translator, a timeline of Heidegger's life and works, a philosophic index of core Heideggerian concepts and a guide for terminology across 19th and 20th century Existentialists. This translation is designed for readability and accessibility to Heidegger's enigmatic and dense philosophy. Complex and specific philosophic terms are translated as literally as possible and academic footnotes have been removed to ensure easy reading. It begins with the assertion that theology, understood here primarily as Christian theology, is a positive science, fundamentally different from philosophy, including phenomenology. This distinction is rooted in the nature of the subject matter and methodology of theology, which are oriented toward faith and the understanding of Christianity as a historical phenomenon. The paper emphasizes that theology, as a science, must be characterized not only by its positivity but also by its specific scientificity. The paper then delves into the conceptual intricacies of Christian theology, discussing how faith, especially in the Christian context, is an existential mode that transcends mere theoretical understanding. It argues that faith, and by extension theology, is not merely a set of doctrines or dogmas, but a mode of existence deeply intertwined with the historical event of Christianity. This existential dimension of faith shapes the nature of theology, making it not just a study of Christian doctrine, but an exploration of the existential implications of faith in historical and ontological terms. Thus, theological concepts are not mere abstract ideas, but are existentially significant and shape the believer's understanding of existence. This existential and historical character of theology distinguishes it from other sciences and from philosophy, including phenomenology, which is concerned with more general questions of being and existence. The paper concludes by suggesting that while theology and phenomenology are distinct, they can inform and enrich each other, especially in understanding the existential dimensions of faith and being.
