Reading Heidegger from the Start: Essays in His Early Thought (Suny Series in Contemporary Continental Philosophy)

Summary: An Excellent Collection
Review: This excellent collection of essays is absolutely indispensible to anyone with a serious interest in understanding Heidegger's thought at its formative stage. I heartily recommend it.

The publication of Heidegger's earliest lectures and essays from the 1920's has marked a turning point in Heidegger scholarship, and certainly promises to be the inauguration of a genuine revolution. The essays in this volume touch on many of the most important lines of thought articulated by Heidegger in his early years, more or less leaving no stone unturned. The essays by Gadamer, Van Buren, and Grondin are worth the price of the whole volume.
