Written in 1938/9, Mindfulness (translated from the German Besinnung) is Martin Heidegger´s second major being-historical treatise. Here, Heidegger develops some of his key concepts and themes including truth, nothingness, enownment, art and Be-ing and discusses the Greeks, Nietzsche and Hegel at length. In addition to the main text, the text also includes two further important essays, ´A Retrospective Look at the Pathway´ (1937/8) and ´The Wish and the Will (On Preserving What is Attempted)´ (1937/8), in which Heidegger surveys his unpublished works and discusses his relationship to Catholic and Protestant Christianity and reflects on his life´s path. This is a major translation of a key text from one of the most important thinkers of the 20th century, now available in the Bloomsbury Revelations Series.

Editor´s Epilogue

This is a central text for coming to terms with Heidegger´s thinking ... The translation itself mirrors and maintains the haunting character of the German text. The Translators´ Foreword is a masterpiece in setting the stage and opening up the possibilities for the English to stay true to the Heideggerian project of thinking the truth of be-ing. Kenneth Maly, University of Wisconsin, USA
