The publication of the first English translation of Martin Heidegger's "Beitrage zur Philosophie" (Vom Ereignis) marked a significant event for Heidegger studies. Considered by scholars to be Heidegger's most important work after "Being and Time", "Contributions to Philosophy" (From Enowning) elaborates what he calls 'being-historical-thinking', a project in which he undertakes to reshape what it means both to think and to be. "Contributions" is an indispensable book for scholars and students of Heidegger, but it is also one of the most difficult because of its aphoristic style and new and strange words. In the "Companion to Heidegger's Contributions to Philosophy" an international group of fourteen Heidegger scholars shares strategies for reading and understanding this challenging work. Overall approaches for becoming familiar with Heidegger's unique language and thinking are included along with detailed readings of key sections of the work. Experienced readers and those coming to the text for the first time will find the "Companion" an invaluable guide to this pivotal text in Heidegger's philosophical corpus. The contributors to this book include: Walter A.Brogan; David Crownfield; Parvis Emad; Gunter Figal; Kenneth Maly; William McNeill; Richard Polt; John Sallis; Susan Schoenbohm; Charles E. Scott; Dennis J. Schmidt; Alejandro Vallega; Daniela Vallega-Neu; and, Friedrich-Wilhelm von Herrmann.
