Description: "With the publication of Contributions to Philosophy (From Enowning), Martin Heidegger's most important work after Being and Time becomes available in English for the first time. Titled in German Beitrage zur Philosophie (Vom Ereignis), this work, written in 1936-38, was awaited with great expectation long before its publication on the centennial of Heidegger's birth in 1989. In Heidegger's corpus, Contributions stands alone.

If Being and Time is perceived as undermining modern metaphysics, Contributions undertakes nothing less than to reshape the very project of thinking. Through Heidegger's unfolding of "being-historical thinking," thinking becomes a dimension of time and space, a way of experiencing the presence of the divine."--BOOK JACKET.

"The fugally structured work comprises six "joinings" - "Echo," "Playing-Forth," "Leap," "Grounding," "The Ones to Come," and "The Last God" - and a final section, "Be-ing," which together illuminate what enowns and thus enables thinking."--BOOK JACKET.
