'.an important addition to the translations of Heidegger's lecture-courses.' --International Philosophical Quarterly 'The translators of these lectures have succeeded splendidly in giving readers an intimation of the tensely insistent tone of the original German. Heidegger's concern with a linguistic preconsciousness & with our entrancement before the enigma of existence remains intensely contemporary.'

--Choice 'There is much that is new and valuable in this book, & McNeill & Walker's faithful translation makes it very accessible.' -- Review of Metaphysics 'Whoever thought that Heidegger.has no surprises left in him had better read this volume. If its rhetoric is 'hard & heavy' its thought is even harder & essentially more daring than Heideggerians ever imagined Heidegger could be.' --David Farrell Krell First published in German in 1983 as volume 29/30 of Heidegger's collected works, The Fundamental Concepts of Metaphysics includes an extended treatment of the history of metaphysics & an elaboration of a philosophy of life & nature. Heidegger's concepts of organism, animal behavior & environment are uniquely developed & defined with intensity. William McNeill is Associate Professor of Philosophy at DePaul University. He is co-translator (with Julia Davis) of Holderlin's Hymn 'The Ister' by Martin Heidegger. Bs en iso 4762 din 912 pdf to jpg.

This is a fascinating lecture course which substantially supplements Heidegger's. Here we see in addition to Dasein's fundamental attunement of anxiety as presented in Being and Time a description and analysis of another form of fundamental attunement -- boredom. In both anxiety and boredom Dasein confronts its originary opening to the question of its own being. Also of especial interest in this lecture course is the only sustained engagement in Heidegger's works with the natural This is a fascinating lecture course which substantially supplements Heidegger's.

Here we see in addition to Dasein's fundamental attunement of anxiety as presented in Being and Time a description and analysis of another form of fundamental attunement -- boredom. In both anxiety and boredom Dasein confronts its originary opening to the question of its own being. Also of especial interest in this lecture course is the only sustained engagement in Heidegger's works with the natural sciences. In further developing the phenomenological description of world Heidegger analyses the sense in which animals can be said to be 'poor in world' in contrast to Dasein's 'worlding.' The descriptions of what it is like to be a bee are a fascinating piece of phenomenological imagining oneself into the world of a substantially other kind of being. The text is somewhat easier going than Being and Time but the analyses are very close, precise and slow moving. Unfortunately, as with many such lecture courses, the full extent of the intended argument was cut short by the end of the semester leaving Finitude and Solitude unexamined.

But the expansion of Heidegger's work on the description of the experience of world is a substantive addition to our understanding of world as presented in Being and Time. This book is a set of H's lectures from the late 1920s. It was very much worth the effort for three reasons. First it contains the most detailed treatment of boredom ever written by anyone--it goes on for over a hundred pages!

(I kept wondering how the students kept awake during all of it!). Second, it contains some fascinating insights into Heidegger's view of animal life, something about which he did not write elsewhere that I know of.
