The End of Philosophy - Tapa blanda

Joan Stambaugh's translations of the works of Heidegger, accomplished with his guidance, have made key aspects of his thought and philosophy accessible to readers of English for many years. "The End of Philosophy" is one in a series of Heidegger's books newly reissued, following "Identity and Difference" and "Time and Being". This collection, says the translator, "contains Heidegger's attempt to show the history of Being as metaphysics". Three of the chapters - "Metaphysics as History of Being", "Sketches for a History of Being as Metaphysics" and "Recollection in Metaphysics" -are taken from the end of volume 2 of Heidegger's "Nietzsche"; the last, "Overcoming Metaphysics" is taken from "Vortrage und Aufsatze".

Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) spent most of his career teaching at the University of Freiburg. His most prominent works include "Being and Time," "Discourse on Thinking," "Identity and Difference," "What is Called Thinking?," and "Poetry, Language, Thought." Joan Stambaugh is a professor emerita of philosophy at Hunter College of the City University of New York. She is the author, most recently, of "The Finitude of Being," "The Other Nietzsche," and "The Formless Self."
