On My Own Publications

<p>Throughout his career, Martin Heidegger read and reinterpreted his own writings. This was part of the entirely self-critical orientation of the journey in the landscape of thought.</p><p><i>On My Own Publications</i> is the first English-language translation of volume 82 of Heidegger's <i>Complete Works</i>. Started a decade after <i>Being and Time</i> (1927), much of this volume presents running commentary, interpretations, and insights of many of Heidegger's fundamental works, illuminating the philosopher's notes and personal thoughts on his own works and offering a rare look inside the mind of an influential thinker.</p><p>Focusing on several works including <i>What Is Metaphysics? </i>(1929), <i>The Origin of the Work of Art</i> (1935-36), and <i>The Letter on Humanism</i> (1946), <i>On My Own Publications </i>presents Heidegger reading, interpreting, and confronting some of his own most important and influential publications.</p>
