First edition, presentation-copy signed by Heidgger and with an inserted letter, also signed and dated by Heidegger, of this seminal collection of lectures and essays, which was of decisive importance to the immense influence of Heidegger’s thinking upon post World War Europe. This collection of Heidegger’s lectures and essays contains such groundbreaking works as “Die Frage nach der Technik” (The Question Concerning Technology) and “Wissenschaft und Besinnung” (Science and Reflection), “”Dichterisch Wohnet der Mensch…” “, along with other important works written between 1936 and 1953 collected here for the first time. This collection would later be reprinted and serve as volume 7 of Heidegger’s collected works (the Gesamtausgabe). This copy is signed “Martin Heidegger” and dated (1954 – the year of publication) to the front free end-paper, and on the inside of the front board is inserted an autograph signed letter in Heidegger’s hand to “Sehr geehrter Herr Doktor” (honourable doctor), in which Heidegger asks to meet up the following day, suggesting different times of the day. The letter is dated Freiburg 10th of February, 1954, which is two days before Heidegger gave his groundbreaking lecture “The Question Concerning Technology” at the University of Freiburg, suggesting that the letter was given to someone attending the lecture, possibly someone with whom he wanted to discuss it beforehand. “The Question Concerning Technology” still serves as one of the most pertinent philosophical essays of modern time, foreshadowing what is arguably the greatest philosophical and moral dilemmas that we struggle with today due to modern technology. Heidegger begins with asking the question what technology is, in an attempt to fully understand its essence and to ultimately prepare a free relationship to it – a theme that could hardly be more relevant today. “As relevant now as ever before, this accessible collection is an essential landmark in the philosophy of science from one of the most profound thinkers of the twentieth century (New York Times). The advent of machine technology has given rise to some of the deepest problems of modern thought. Featuring the celebrated essay The Question Concerning Technology, this prescient volume contains Martin Heidegger's groundbreaking investigation into the pervasive enframing character of our understanding of ourselves and the world.” (Harper Collins: The Question Concerning Technology And Other Essays By Martin Heidegger, 2013). “Science and Reflection” (here published for the first time), a lecture delivered on August 4, 1953, to a small circle of attendees, is Heidegger’s meditation on the difference between science and “mindfulness”, and an as-relevant-as-ever attempt at uniting science as such, in itself, with its application and meaning, combatting scientific fragmentation. In line with the other foreshadowing lectures, “Dichterisch wohnet der Mensch”, given on October 6, 1951, in Bühlerhöhe, seeks to explore how to reach a peace or dwelling in a modern, technological world. Heidegger uses the quote by Hölderlin to explore how human existence is deeply intertwined with language and poetry and reaches the conclusion that to truly dwell is to live in a poetic way, allowing for the meaningful unfolding of the world through language. The other essays/lectures printed in this seminal volume are: Überwindung der Metaphysik (1936-1946) Wer ist Nietzsches Zarathustra (1953) Was heißt Denken? (1952) Bauen Wohnen Denken (1951) Das Ding (1950) Logos (Heraklit, Fragment 50) (1951) Moira (Parmenides, Fragment VIII, 34-41) (1952) Aletheia (Heraklit, Fragment 16) (1954)
Tübingen, J.C.B. Mohr (Paul Siebeck), 1916. Lex 8vo. Uncut and unopened in the original printed wrappers. A stain to the front wrapper, from the removal of a bookplate on verso, which has also removed some of the advertisement-print to the top of the inside of front wrapper. Apart from this removed book plate the only real flaw that the copy has is a vertical break down the middle of the spine, from opening the block. Otherwise there is just minimal edgewear and slight brownspotting to the title-page. Inscribed by Heidegger ""Vom Verfasser/ M.H."" to top of title-page. (8), 245 pp.
The scarce first edition, extremely rare presentation-copy, of Heidegger's Habilitationsschrift, in which he introduces his ""Hermeneutik der Fakticität"". In 1913 Heidegger was given a Ph.D. for his work ""Die Lehre vom Urtheil im Psychologismus"". Already in 1915 he had written his Habilitation on Duns Scotus, which was published the following year, in 1916. These two works, together with a few articles from the same period, constitute the beginning of Heidegger's path towards the question of being - the subject because of which he later became the most famous philosopher of the 20th century, establishing the philosophy that has dominated Western thinking ever since. Heidegger's Habilitation was supervised by Heinrich Rickert, and as the title indicates, it dealt with the categories of theory of meaning of Duns Scotus. The work, around which the dissertation revolved, was the ""Grammatica Speculativa"", which was then ascribed to Duns Scotus but which is now considered a work by Thomas von Erfurt. The ""Grammatica Speculativa"" is a work about types of ways of expressions in language and the corresponding ontological categories. Heidegger's interest in this shows an early interest in the relationship between language and being. Here, he attempts to unite a Medieval signification theory with neo-Kantian logical theory and the intentionality of Husserl, which was then in the beginning of its influence. It is generally accepted that Heidegger already in his Habilitation anticipates his seminal account of Dasein later fully developed in ""Sein und Zeit"". Though Heidegger's Habilitation has been overlooked for many years, it is now widely believed that there is a very direct connection between Scotus, Thomas of Erfurt, Husserl and Heidegger, leading the young Heidegger directly towards his ""hermeneutical intuition"" and being closely connected to the ideas that he develops fully in ""Sein und Zeit"".The work itself is very rare in the first printing, and when seen, it is often in bad condition and/or lacking the wrappers. Inscribed copies are of the utmost scarcity.

First edition, presentation-copy ""Für/ Dr. Helmut Franz/ mit freundlichem Gruss/ Martin Heidegger"".The present work is a speach that Heidegger gave in his home-town Messkirch, in 1955 on the occassion of the 175th birthday of the composer Conradin Kreutzer.For Heidegger, ""Gelassenheit"" is a way of being in the world which is uniquely different from previous ways - a way which is necessary for modern man.Helmut Franz was an evangelical theologian who considered himself quite a bit with Heidegger's philosophy. In 1958 the two were at a philosophy conference together, and in 1959 Heidegger presented him with his ""Gelassenheit"". In 1967 Helmut Franz wrote ""Das Denken Heideggers und die Theologie"".

First edition of one of Heidegger's most important works, which was originally planned to constitute the second part of ""Sein und Zeit"". ""Kant und das Problem der Metaphysik"" is not only one of, if not the, most important readings of Kant's ""Critik der Reinen Vernunft"" from the 20th century, it is also one of Heidegger's main works and an indispensible work for anyone interested in Heidegger's thought as well as 20th century philosophy in general. Whereas the Neo-Kantian philosophers had understood Kant's ""Critique of Pure Reason"" as an epistemology, Heidegger here presents this all-time main work of philosophy as a foundation of metaphysics. Heidegger understands this metaphysics in its more original form as that fundamental ontology which is the metaphysics of Dasein in ""Being and Time"""" as such, ""Kant and the Problem of Metahysics"" is also to be viewed as an inevitable contribution to the understanding of the main work of 20th century continental philosophy, Heidegger's own ""Sein und Zeit"". ""Heidegger's interpretation of Kant remains a challenging way to address the issues that both Kant and Heidegger saw as crucial...In reading [""Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics""] we can struggle with some basic issues of human existence in the company of two great minds"" (International Philosophical Quarterly).

The first edition of Heidegger's famous Nietzsche-book, in which he equals Nietzsche's notion of the super-human with the realization of modern technical humanity.Like his lectures on Nietzsche in the 1930'ies and '40'ies, the work also focuses on Nietzsche's posthumously published fragments ""Die Wille zur Macht"" (""The Will to Power""). According to Heidegger, these fragments form the culmination of Western Metaphysics, -though Metaphysics when turned upside-down, but far from abolished.""Nietzsche denkt das, was die metaphysische Tradition das Sein des Seienden nennt, als den ewig wiederkehrenden Willen zur Macht. Durch den Gedanken-Gang zum Willen zur macht zieht Nietzshe eine ""Spur"" in die ""Geschichte des Seins"" und d.h. ""in die noch unbegangenen Bezirke künftiger Entscheidungen"" (I, 475)."" (Pöggeler, Der Denkweg Martin Heideggers).With the word ""Sein"" (""Being""), Heidegger seems to have coined the ""essence"" of European thought. Metaphysically ""Sein"" is put into words as the ""Wahrheit des Seienden"" (""The Truth of Being"") in European thought. According to Heidegger, also Nietzsche's philosophy of thought is Metaphysics, but not Metaphysics as a particular philosophical discipline, rather Metaphysics as the ""Wahrheit über das Seiende"" (the truth about that, which is). Thus viewed, Nietzsche's philosophy becomes the Metaphysics of our times.

Dated ""Freiburg i Brsg. 6. März 1958"". 1/2 page 4to. Heidegger thanks Giustiniani for a very nice evening in his house together with his Italian students. He furthermore thanks him for an admittance card to the Italian national museaum and asks G. to thank the Government Department for it as well. Heidegger, who was not fond of travelling, hopes to be able to visit soon, since he has long wished to visit Italy.
The letter is for the Italian Freiburger colleague, Vito R. Giustiniani (1916 - 1998). Enclosed it the carbon copy of the letter written by Giustiniani to Heidegger on ""5.3.1958"", in which he thanks him in very warm tones for having visited him and spent time with his students, and in which he tells him about the entrance card for the national Italian museum and the excavations, which the Italian Ministery of Teching has made for Heidegger and his wife.

The work is founded on the basis of a lecture-course given by Heidegger in Freiburg in 1935-36 under the title of ""Grundfragen der Metaphysik"""" the work is translated into English as """"What is a Thing?"" and constitutes an in part revision of the notions put forth in his ""Kant und das Problem der Metaphysik"".""Aus dem Umkreis der Grundfragen der Metaphysik stellen wir in dieser Vorlesung EINE Frage auf.

First edition of Heidegger's important exposition of the poet Georg Trakl. The essay has had great impact on modern interpretation of poetry, and in fact it was this essay which prompted the entire Geschlecht series of Derrida, which he himself often reiterated. The essay was later printed in ""Unterwegs zur Sprache"", 1959.In this essay Heidegger searches for the poem of the poem of Georg Trakl, in order to therethrough determine the true essence of the entire poetical production of the poet. ""Jeder grosse Dichter dichtet nur aus einem einzigen Gedicht Die Grösse bemisst sich daraus, inwieweit er diesem Einzigen so anvertraut wird, das ser es vermag, sein Dichtends Sagen rein darin zu halten."" (p. 226). And so, Heidegger can work towards finding the poem of Trakl's poems, which unites the diversity of the poems into one essence, a being which transcends the single different poems, and which is the unity of the poet with that which is deceased.
Fankfurt am Main, Klostermann, 1943. 8vo. Orig. printed wrappers. A bit of brownspotting. Some underlinings, mostly in pencil. 28 pp.
The scarce first edition of Heidegger's important and early Freiberg-lecture from 1931, ""The Essence of Truth"" (not the one printed in Wegmarken).In this work Heidegger assumes the general determination of truth as the accordance of an utterance with a thing as his starting-point. Truth is thought as the accuracy of an accordance, but how, is the question posed by Heidegger, does this accordance between the utterance and the thing come about? And thus the question of the Essence of truth arises.One of the conclusions of the work is that ""Das Wesen der Wahrheit ist die Freiheit.""The ""Essence of Truth"" completes a line of thought begun with ""Sein und Zeit"". Truth is understood as the accuracy of an accordance and is traced back to the resoluteness (Entschlossenheit) of existence, which is now understood as freedom. ""Der hier vorgetragene Versuch führt die Frage nach dem Wesen der Wahrheit über das Gehege der gewohnten Umgrenzung im üblichen Wesensbegriff hinaus und verhilft zum Nachdenken darüber, ob die Frage nach dem Wesen der Wahrheit nicht zugleich und zuerst die Frage nach der Wahrheit des Wesens sein muss. Im Begriff des ""Wesens"" aber denkt die Philosophie das Sein"" (p. 27).

First separate edition of Heidegger's important work on Humanism, expounding his controversial thoughts on Humanism in general and Humanism as viewed in the Renaissance. The question posed is that of what man is seen from a humanistic point of view.The work was originally published in ""Platons Lehre von der Wahrheit"" and later in ""Wegmarken"" (1967).""Die vorliegene Schrift ist der für die Veröffentlichung durchgesehene und an einigen Stellen erweiterte text eines Briefes, der im Herbst 1946 an Jean Beaufret (Paris) geschrieben wurde."" (Verso of title-page). The work is written in the form of a letter, answering Beaufret's question: ""How is it possible to ascribe meaning to the word Humanism?"" Heidegger's answer gives us the essence of his late philosophy. He wishes to show that humanism itself is the cause of the problem that it considers itself the solution to.

First edition, off-print, of Heidegger's influential work, in which he radically reinterpretates the fundamental philosophical significance of the Leibnitzian principle of reason, and the origin and essence of reason in general. In this early work, Heidegger sets out to derive the principle of reason from the transcendent and temporal structure of Dasein and thereby totally redefines and redetermines the notion.
