Review
.".. This fine translation makes more accessible six essays from volume 1of Beaufret's Dialogue (1973 -- 85) and two from volume 4 on the path ofHeidegger.... Highly recommended." -- Choice
Product Description
Jean Beaufret is perhaps best known for posing the questions to which Martin Heidegger responded in his famous "Letter on Humanism." These questions, hastily written in a Paris cafe, constitute an early and improvised moment that was to form a profound philosophical engagement and friendship between the two thinkers. Mark Sinclair presents, for the first time in English translation, the first of four volumes of correspondence between Heidegger and Beaufret. This volume covers Heidegger's attachments to Greek thinking in six letters - "The Birth of Philosophy," "Heraclitus and Parmenides," "Reading Parmenides," "Zeno," "A Note on Plato and Aristotle," and "Energeia and Actus." This frank exchange shows Heidegger in a more personal and tentative light and brings out his deep attachments to French intellectual traditions.

Format:Hardcover
please be aware that this book is not a series of actual dialogues with heidegger but 8 essays written by beaufret, in which, according to the translator's introduction, "he is concerned to read the history of philosophy from the perspectives opened up by Heidegger's questioning of being" . The blurb on the cover that "This frank exchange shows Heidegger in a more personal and tentative light" is a complete mis-direction by the publisher and counts perhaps as false advertising. as to the actual value of Beaufret's essays i haven't had the time to read them
