This is a transcript of lectures given relatively late in the author's life and is a good representation of his later thought. It starts off with a discussion of thinking as phenomenon, and poses a series of questions about the different ways thinking is approached and referred to. A discussion of Nietzsche takes up much of the middle part, and a philologically inspired discussion of some Ancient Greek and other words for thinking follows. Overall it's pretty abstruse, and there is a certain mystical quality throughout which makes things hard to understand, and which might be unexpected if you're looking for a more straightforward book about reflexive cognition or epistemology. If you haven't read Being and Time it's probably a good show more idea to do so before taking on this one. show less
"Zeit ist freilich ein Kommen, aber ein Kommen, das geht, indem es vergeht. Das Kommende der Zeit kommt nie, um zu bleiben, sondern um zu gehen."
Leid entsteht laut Heidegger durch Kontrollverlust von dem "was war".
"Diesen Rechnen mit der Zeit begann in dem Augenblick, da der Mensch plötzlich in die Un-Ruhe kam, dass er keine Zeit mehr hatte. Dieser Augenblick ist der Beginn der Neuzeit."
Durch das Leben im immerwährenden Jetzt schaffen wir es, mehr zu sein.

No se piensa sino cuando algo desconocido nos llama a pensar, entonces uno es en el Ser. Dice Hegel el ser es pensamiento. Heidegger recomienda a los que planeen estudiar a Nietzsche, pasar 15 años entendiendo a Aristoteles. Primero responder: ¿qué llama al pensamiento?

"For an acquaintance with the thought of Heidegger, What Is Called Thinking? is as important as Being and Time. It is the only systematic presentation of the thinker's late philosophy and . . . it is perhaps the most exciting of his books."--Hannah Arendt

Martin Heidegger was born in Messkirch, Baden, Germany on September 22, 1889. He studied Roman Catholic theology and philosophy at the University of Frieburg before joining the faculty at Frieburg as a teacher in 1915. Eight years later Heidegger took a teaching position at Marburg. He taught there until 1928 and then went back to Frieburg as a show more professor of philosophy. As a philosopher, Heidegger developed existential phenomenology. He is still widely regarded as one of the most original philosophers of the 20th century. Influenced by other philosophers of his time, Heidegger wrote the book, Being in Time, in 1927. In this work, which is considered one of the most important philosophical works of our time, Heidegger asks and answers the question "What is it, to be?" Other books written by Heidegger include Basic Writings, a collection of Heidegger's most popular writings; Nietzsche, an inquiry into the central issues of Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy; On the Way to Language, Heidegger's central ideas on the origin, nature and significance of language; and What is Called Thinking, a systematic presentation of Heidegger's later philosophy. Since the 1960s, Heidegger's influence has spread beyond continental Europe and into a number of English-speaking countries. Heidegger died in Messkirch on May 26, 1976.
