Description
Martin Heidegger's 1941-1942 lecture course on Hölderlin's hymn "Remembrance" explores the poet's central concern with remembrance. This English translation by William McNeill and Julia Ireland presents Heidegger's fullest elaboration of commemorative thinking in relationship to time, revealing a startlingly innovative analysis of greeting, the festive, and the dream. The course marks an important progression in Heidegger's political thought, emphasizing the "free use of the national" and the "holy of the fatherland." This translation completes the series of Heidegger's major lecture courses on Hölderlin, providing a valuable insight into his philosophical development. With its focus on remembrance as a central theme, this book offers a unique perspective on Hölderlin's poetry and its relationship to time.
