Delivered in summer 1942 at the University of Freiburg, this course was first published in German in 1984 as volume 53 of Heidegger's Collected Works. Revealing for Heidegger's thought of the period are his discussions of the meaning of \"the political\" and \"the national,\" in which he emphasizes the difficulty and the necessity of finding \"one's own\" in and through a dialogue with \"the foreign.\" In this context Heidegger reflects on the nature of translation and interpretation. A detailed reading of the famous chorus from Sophocles' \u003ci\u003eAntigone, \u003c\/i\u003e known as the \"ode to man,\" is a key feature of the course.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliam McNeill is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at DePaul University and translator (with Nicholas Walker) of \u003ci\u003eThe Fundamental Concepts of Metaphysics: World, Finitude, Solitude\u003c\/i\u003e by Martin Heidegger. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJulia Davis is Research Associate at Whitman College and former Fulbright Fellow at Freiburg University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50923934482706,"sku":"9780253330642","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_eca03b02-199f-461a-9524-24ecad1694de.jpg?v=1738965599","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/hzilderlins-hymn-the-ister-9780253330642","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
