First published in German in 2001, these two lecture courses offer a sustained encounter with Heidegger's thinking during a period when he attempted to give expression to his highest ambitions for a philosophy engaged with politics and the world. While the lectures are strongly nationalistic and celebrate the revolutionary spirit of the time, they also attack theories of racial supremacy in an attempt to stake out a distinctively Heideggerian understanding of what it means to be a people. This careful translation offers valuable insight into Heidegger's views on language, truth, animality, and life, as well as his political thought and activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslators' Foreword\u003cbr\u003e THE FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION OF PHILOSOPHY\u003cbr\u003e Summer Semester 1933\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: The Fundamental Question of Philosophy and the Fundamental Happening of Our History\u003cbr\u003e Main Part: The Fundamental Question and Metaphysics: Preparation for a Confrontation with Hegel\u003cbr\u003e Chapter One.
