Ponderings II–VI begins the much-anticipated English translation of
Martin Heidegger's "Black Notebooks." In a series of small notebooks
with black covers, Heidegger confided sundry personal observations and
ideas over the course of 40 years. The five notebooks in this volume
were written between 1931 and 1938 and thus chronicle Heidegger's year
as Rector of the University of Freiburg during the Nazi era. Published
in German as volume 94 of the Complete Works, these challenging and
fascinating journal entries shed light on Heidegger's philosophical
development regarding his central question of what it means to be, but
also on his relation to National Socialism and the revolutionary
atmosphere of the 1930s in Germany. Readers previously familiar only
with excerpts taken out of context may now determine for themselves
whether the controversy and censure the "Black Notebooks" have
received are deserved or not. This faithful translation by Richard
Rojcewicz opens the texts in a way that captures their philosophical
and political content while disentangling Heidegger's notoriously
difficult language.
