The present course is thus in every sense a transition: harking back to the temporal analyses of Being from the period of 'Being and Time' and anticipating the increasing preoccupation with the Presocratics and with Greek tragedy that would mark Heidegger's work from the mid-1930s onward.10\/4\/16\"—\u003ci\u003eNotre Dame Philosophical Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Publication of this volume will motivate further scholarship on Heidegger's relation to the Pre-Socratics and on the intertwined topics of ontological difference, truth, metaphysics, and attunement.

During this period, Heidegger was at the height of his creative powers, which are on full display in this clear and imaginative text. In it, Heidegger leads his students in a close reading of two of the earliest philosophical source documents, fragments by Greek thinkers Anaximander and Parmenides. Heidegger develops their common theme of Being and non-being and shows that the question of Being is indeed the origin of Western philosophy. His engagement with these Greek texts is as much of a return to beginnings as it is a potential reawakening of philosophical wonder and inquiry in the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e Translator's Introduction\u003cbr\u003e The beginning of Western philosophy\u003cbr\u003e Interpretation of Anaximander and Parmenides\u003cbr\u003e Part One\u003cbr\u003e The dictum of Anaximander of Miletus, 6th-5th Century\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e 1.
