First published in German in 1983 as volume 29\/30 of Heidegger's collected works, \u003ci\u003eThe Fundamental Concepts of Metaphysics\u003c\/i\u003e presents an extended treatment of the history of metaphysics and an elaboration of a philosophy of life and nature. Heidegger's concepts of organism, animal behavior, and environment are uniquely developed and defined with intensity. Of major interest is Heidegger's brilliant phenomenological description of the mood of boredome, which he describes as a \"fundamental attunement\" of modern times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliam McNeill is Associate Professor of Philosophy at DePaul University.
