Editorial Review Product Description The present translation draws upon nearly half a century of Husserl scholarship as well as the many translations into English of other books by Husserl, occasioned by W.R. Boyce Gibson’s pioneering translation of Ideas, First Book, in 1931. Based on the most recent German edition of the original text published in 1976 by Martinus Nijhoff and edited by Dr. Karl Schuhmann, the present translation offers an entirely new rendering into English of Husserl’s great work, together with a representative selection of Husserl’s own noted and revised parts of his book. Thus the translation makes available, for the first time in English, a significant commentary by Husserl on his own text over a period of about sixteen years. Customer Reviews (3)

Editorial Review Product Description "In Albert Hofstadter's excellent translation, we can listen in as Heidegger clearly and patiently explains... the ontological difference." -- Hubert L. Dreyfus, Times Literary Supplement Customer Reviews (5)
A flood of philosophical brilliance, though "Being and Time" is an imperative prerequisite
The great Philosophy.
eminently readable and interesting
Clean as a whistle, until it defines "is" "We have here once again the peculiar circumstance that the unveiling appropriation of the extant in its being-such is precisely not a subjectivizing but just the reverse, an appropriating of the uncovered determinations to the extant entity as it is itself."(p. 219). If you read the small print on the cover of THE BASIC PROBLEMS OF PHENOMENOLOGY (1982, published in German as Die Grundprobleme der Phanomenologie in 1975) by Martin Heidegger, you will see that this book includes "Translation, Introduction, and Lexicon by Albert Hofstadter."The Lexicon is quite an accomplishment:pages 339 to 396 contain a wealth of information about the pages on which particular words ended up in this translation of lectures by Heidegger on philosophical problems.If you read the book first, then come to the first entry on page 340, "already, always already, antecedent, before, beforehand, earlier, in advance, precedent, prior--expressions used with great frequency: . . ." you know that dozens of pages can be cited for "some characteristic instances: . . . "Longer entries provide more complete indexing for being, being-in-the-world, beings, Da, Dasein, exist, extant, horizon, interpretation, "is" (See copula), Kant, now, nows (nun), ontological, ontology, philosophy, problem, problems, problems, specific, projection, project, self, structure, subject, Temporal, Temporality, temporal, temporality (zeitlich . . .), temporalize (zeitigen), theses, thing, thingness, thinghood, thinking, time, transcend, truth, understand, understanding of being, unveil, and world. Frankly, I am glad that I have previously attempted to read lectures and the Heraclitus seminars which used the Greek alphabet (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, etc.) for Greek words, so that I was warned that translation was necessary, and I learned enough Greek words to recognize that ancient language even when it is printed in transliterated form, with no indication that a foreign language is being used, as frequently occurs in this book. "In a corresponding passage Aristotle says that this `is' means a synthesis and is accordingly en sumploke dianoias kai pathos en taute, it is the coupling that the intellect produces as combining intellect, and this `is' means something that does not occur among things; it means a being, but a being that is, as it were, a state of thought."(p. 182). People with absolutely no knowledge of Greek might try reading the Lexicon entry for "Greek expressions" (pp. 358-359) before reading pages 73, 86, 115, etc. to remind themselves that when they read "to on" on page 53, they were reading Greek, as "to ti en einai" on page 85 is a bit more obviously not in English, as Aristotle was not.How helpful is this?Consider the final entry in Greek expressions:zoe, 121.Looking it up, I find in the final paragraph of section 12: "First, however, one problem makes its claim on our attention:besides the extant (at-hand extantness) there are beings in the sense of the Dasein, who exists.But this being which we ourselves are--was this not always already known, in philosophy and even in pre-philosophical knowledge?Can one make such a fuss about stressing expressly the fact that besides the extant at-hand there is also this being that we ourselves are?After all, every Dasein, insofar as it is, always already knows about itself and knows that it differs from other beings.We ourselves said that for all its being oriented primarily to the extant at-hand, ancient ontology nevertheless is familiar with psuche, nous, logos, zoe, bios, soul, reason, life in the broadest sense.Of course.But it should be borne in mind that the ontical, factual familiarity of a being does not after all guarantee a suitable interpretation of its being."(pp. 120-121). The actual lectures only consist of 22 sections, with "The Being of the Copula" in Chapter Four (pp. 177-224) primarily considered in sections 16 and 17, though the outline of the subject at the end of Heidegger's Introduction, section 6, suggested that this would be at the end of Part One, Chapter Four.Section 18 on the existential mode of being of truth has also been included at the end of Chapter Four, where it seems to follow quite naturally.Though it is only followed by Part Two, Chapter One, anyone who wishes to imagine more may adopt the idea stated by Heidegger on page 225 that Part Two would also have four chapters, in which we could encounter the basic problems again ending with "fourthly, the problem of the truth-character of being." There isn't anything about pandering in the Lexicon, but the 22 listings for "copula" might be close, considering the "See `is' " cross-reference and the amount of political scandal that has recently been generated by President Clinton when he was trying to think non-copulatively in the way he defined "is."The 1908 Oxford translation of Aristotle included in note 4 on page 181 illustrates the kind of compartmentalization that most people exhibited in thinking about the impeachment proceedings: "For neither are `to be' and `not to be' and the participle `being' significant of any fact, unless something is added; for they do not themselves indicate anything, but imply a copulation, of which we cannot form a conception apart from the things coupled."
Continuation of Being and Time As for the book itself (for now on referred to as BP), the book is incomplete--just like Being and Time.Heidegger undertakes Three Parts each with Four chapters (see page 24).But BP only deals with all of Part One and only chapter 1 of Part Two.Heidegger gets no farther than the Problem of Ontological Difference (entities vs. the Being of entities) and the lecture course ends.But the book is extraordinarly helpful because of what it does address.Part One is elaborate and interesting because it deals with other philosophers and their ideas.Heidegger pays particular attention to Kant, Aristotle, Descartes and explains how their ideas have been inherited into the contemporary philosophic era.What I found most interesting was the deconstruction of Medieval and Modern ontology.Heidegger thus gives a broad historical interpretation of the history of philosophy and explains the presuppositions of each period. Obviously this book is not for philosophical neophytes.The book should only be undertaken by those with some background in 20th century philosophy and knowledge of basic Heideggerian thought.The book's appeal should thus be limited to few individuals, and certainly only those with philosophic interest. The book borrows much of the terminology from Being and Time with some notable exceptions.Authenticity and inauthenticity have pracitically been dropped.The term "horizon" becomes notably more important and the term "Temporality" is of great importance to understanding what is being disclosed from the text.Ontological difference is explicitly defined, though it was implicitly defined in Being and Time.Pay particular attention to Part Two of the work, for it questions through many of the underlying questions I had after completing Being and Time.If you are disappointed how the book abruptly ends, it is to be expected.But for those 285 people on Earth interested in Heidegger this book is indispensable.But read Being and Time first!

Editorial Review Product Description "... an important contribution... offers a penetrating glimpse into certain uncharted waters in the development of German thought." -- Review of Metaphysics "A must for all students of Hegel, Husserl, and Heidegger." -- Choice Strikes a skillful balance between the needs of first-time readers of Hegel and the interests of advanced scholars. These lectures contain some of Heidegger's most crucial statements about temporality, ontological difference and dialectic, and being and time in Hegel. Customer Reviews (1)
A book on the easy absolute:we got him "But should one not say then that Hegel already at the beginning of his work presupposes and anticipates what he wants to achieve only at the end?Certainly this must be said.Indeed, whoever wishes to understand anything of his work must say that again and again.The attempt to diminish this `fact'--as we would like to call it--show, furthermore, how little this work has been understood. . . . For it pertains to the essential character of philosophy that wherever philosophy sets to work in terms of its basic question and becomes a work, it already anticipates precisely that which it says later."(p. 30). These lectures on Hegel's first major work "constitutes the lecture course given by Heidegger at the University of Freiburg during the winter semester of 1930/31.The German edition, edited by Ingtraud Goerland, was published in 1980 by Vittorio Klostermann Verlag."(p. viii).Normally publication dates matter little in philosophy, and the English translation did not appear until 1988, but the publication in German in 1980 might be considered an answer to specific questions raised by hotshot American philosopher and Princeton professor Walter Kaufmann, near the end of his life, who published a three-volume set in 1980 called Discovering the Mind, after some of the ideas were presented in 1974 and the first draft was completed in 1976, in which Hegel was considered too rushed to be considered philosophical:"especially in his first book he came to write at such a pace that he put fleeting thoughts and doubtful notions down on paper and then had to send them to the printer without any opportunity to rethink what he had written."(DM, V. I, pp. 255-256).Volume II made the same points regarding the publication of Heidegger's first original work, only half a system in which "Heidegger secularized Christian preaching about guilt, dread, and death, but claimed to break with two thousand years of Western thought." (DM, VII, p. xvi).Privately, in "an unpublished letter that Heidegger had written to Karl Loewith on August 19, 1921" (DM, VII, p. 170), Heidegger had written "but it must be added that I am no philosopher, and I do not imagine that I am doing anything remotely comparable; that is not my intention. . . . I am a `Christian theologian.' " (DM, VII, p. 171). It should be obvious that Heidegger was capable of recognizing systems and identifying them quite easily.In HEGEL'S PHENOMENOLOGY OF SPIRIT, he has titles in his Contents that call out:"the System of Science," "1. The system of the phenomenology and of the encyclopedia," "2. Hegel's conception of a system of science," "b)Absolute and relative knowledge.Philosophy as the system of science," "4.The inner mission of the phenomenology of spirit as the first part of the system."Such an understanding of systems is entirely philosophical, and Heidegger's defense of his BEING AND TIME in the final few pages of these lectures is entirely philosophical in nature.He was not supposed to be writing about himself, but about the philosophical "problematic of `being and time' " (pp. 146-147) which previously flared up "for the first and only time, namely, in Kant--people refuse to see the problem and speak rather of my arbitrarily reading my own views into Kant.There is something peculiar about the lack of understanding in our contemporaries by virtue of which one can become famous all of a sudden, and indeed in a dubious sense."(p. 147).That he could complain about being famous as a philosopher already in 1931, before any notoriety from political scandals could make the picture as messy as a German mentality would be a few years later, tends to show that Heidegger had a better grasp of philosophical matters than any of his competitors, of whom only Karl Jaspers, the famous doctor-philosopher whose books include one on GENERAL PSYCHOPATHOLOGY, springs to mind as truly great. Heidegger pictures Hegel's first book as a process of creeping up on absolute knowledge."Hence, the work ends with the short section DD, which is entitled `Absolute Knowledge.' "(pp. 32-33).This leads up to the main assignment: "In this lecture course I presuppose such a first reading of the entire work.If such a reading has not taken place or does not take place in the next few weeks, there is no sense in sitting here:You cheat not only me but yourselves.However, the first reading is not a guarantee that with the second reading we really understand the work.Perhaps the first reading must be frequently repeated, which is only to say that the first reading is utterly indispensable."(p. 36). ...
