Through a close reading of two presocratic philosophers, Heidegger
demonstrates that all of Western philosophy is rooted in the question
of Being. This volume comprises a lecture course given at the
University of Freiburg in 1932, five years after the publication of
Being and Time. During this period, Heidegger was at the height of his
creative powers, which are on full display in this clear and
imaginative text. Heidegger analyses two of the earliest philosophical
source documents, fragments by Greek thinkers Anaximander and
Parmenides. Heidegger develops their common theme of Being and
non-being and shows that the question of Being is indeed the origin of
Western philosophy. His engagement with these Greek texts is as much
of a return to beginnings as it is a potential reawakening of
philosophical wonder and inquiry in the present.
