On the Way to Heidegger’s Contributions to Philosophy

Notes

Notes Preface 1. Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Cancer Ward, trans. Nicholas Bethell and David Burg (New York: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1974), 105- 6. 2 . Briefe 1925 bis 1975: Und andere Zeugnisse / Hannah Arendt, Martin Heidegger , ed. Ursula Ludz (Frankfurt am Main: Vittorio Klostermann, 1998), 54. Introduction 3. For approaches based on the assumption of deconstructability of the thinking of being, see note 32 in this volume; for an instance of the hunt for the "genesis" of this thinking, see note 58; for the abuse of the criteria of comprehensibility / incomprehensibility, see note 57. In connection with the criteria of comprehensibility/ incomprehensibility, I deliberately characterize their use as an abuse, because properly understood, these criteria alwaysfollow, rather than precede, the thrust of hermeneutic phenomenology. 4. I address this returnership in some detail in the fifth and seventh essays in this volume. Also regarding returnership, see Contributions, 319. 5. I address the relationship between machination and Nietzsche's will to power in the seventh essay in this volume. 6.
