Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) is one of the twentieth century's most important, controversial, and influential
philosophers. He is the author of the monumental Being and Time as well as other works translated and published
in English as Basic Writings, Poetry, Language, Thought, On Time and Being, and On the Way to Language.
Summary
Martin Heidegger's Discourse on Thinking, which is translate her, was published in 1959. It comprises a statement
of the point of view of his later though. Since Heidegger's later though has evoked so much interest among philosophers
and, in the last few years, theologians, it seems important to have significant examples of it available in English.
Discourse on Thinking is a particularly good example for this purpose not only because it is so recent, but because
of its format and style.
