    Basic Questions of Philosophy: Selected "Problems" of "Logic"

    About this ebook

    First published in German in 1984 as volume 45 of Martin Heidegger's collected works, this book is the first English translation of a lecture course he presented at the University of Freiburg in 1937–1938. Heidegger's task here is to reassert the question of the essence of truth, not as a "problem" or as a matter of "logic," but precisely as a genuine philosophical question, in fact the one basic question of philosophy. Thus, this course is about the essence of truth and the essence of philosophy. On both sides Heidegger draws extensively upon the ancient Greeks, on their understanding of truth as aletheia and their determination of the beginning of philosophy as the disposition of wonder. In addition, these lectures were presented at the time that Heidegger was composing his second magnum opus, Beiträge zur Philosophie, and provide the single best introduction to that complex and crucial text.

    Martin Heidegger

    Martin Heidegger (Messkirch, 1889 – Friburgo de Brisgovia, 1976) es una de las figuras clave de la filosofía contemporánea. Estudió con Husserl y fue profesor de Filosofía en las universidades de Marburgo y Friburgo. En esta última ejerció como rector entre 1933 y 1934. Su obra filosófica gira en torno al concepto del Ser, empezando por una hermenéutica de la existencia y pasando por la dilucidación de la noción griega de la verdad.
