Description
Nature, History, State: 1933-1934 presents the first complete English-language translation of Heidegger's seminar 'On the Essence and Concepts of Nature, History and State'. This collection includes full introductory material and interpretive essays by leading thinkers, providing valuable context for understanding Heidegger's complex ideas.
The seminar, which took place during a tumultuous period in Heidegger's life as National Socialist rector of the University of Freiburg, offers insight into his development of political thought. The text consists of ten 'protocols' on the seminar sessions, offering a unique glimpse into Heidegger's fundamental questions about nature, history and the state.
This edition is an important resource for anyone seeking to understand the complex relationship between Heidegger's philosophy and his involvement with Nazism.
