The Heidegger Review

ISBN 10: 0850341302 ISBN 13: 9780850341300

This journal has come into being because of something that didn t happen a few months ago. An invitation was offered, and it was refused: an invitation to think. That is, an invitation to think about our world, its changes, and their implications. And also to ask some questions about modern thinking. How can the most dynamic thinking of the present time be described? In what ways is it changing the world? Where might it be taking us? And is there any possibility of anything except more and more of the future of present trends? The invitation was offered, posthumously, by Martin Heidegger. Over about 40 years, roughly from 1930 to 1970, this philosopher wrote his most dangerous thoughts in notebooks which were not intended for publication in the foreseeable future. Some of them, composed between 1931 and 1941, were published for the first time in March of this year. These writings give us thought at full gallop. Heidegger expresses himself freely, much more freely than was possible in his lectures and currently published books. In this journal we re interested in thoughts on the state of things; thoughts on the history of the state of things; thought on the history of resistance to the state of things (which is the great glory of Ireland); and thoughts on serious proposed alternatives to the state of things. That should cover everything in the present issue and hopefully won t cramp our future contributors.
