Heidegger, Martin: Vier Hefte I und II(Schwarze Hefte 1947–1950)
"Der Band bietet faszinierende Eindrücke von der Art und Weise, wie Heidegger die Belastbarkeit der Sprache austestet und diese in den Dienst eines Abschieds von der Philosophie stellt." Martin Heidegger's "Vier Hefte I und II", written between 1947 and 1950, constitute the sixth volume of the "Schwarze Hefte". Heidegger attached so much importance to them that he even referred to them as the "much required 'second part of being and time'" (GA 98, 61). Already in the "Anmerkungen" – different "Schwarze Hefte" which were written simultaneously with the "Vier Hefte" – Heidegger repeatedly points to them. Volume 99 contains two “Hefte” – which are not the actual "Vier Hefte", though. Here, rather, the project of the "Vier Hefte" is discussed in some detail. In addition, Heidegger refers to a "manuscript" of the "Vier Hefte". With Heidegger's unusual emphasis on the "four," his idea of "fourfold" (“Geviert”) gains a new, unexpected context.
