"This exceedingly difficult yet revealing text might be characterized as "Heidegger on Heidegger," as it is a collection of notes and reflections by Heidegger on his earlier works, especially Being and Time, but also including "What is Metaphysics?", "The Origin of a Work of Art," Country Path Conversations, and "Letter on Humanism." Scott M. Campbell's translation is a masterful effort to capture both the spirit and the letter of this complicated but important text."-Drew Hyland, Scott Campbell "The only possible form of commentary that an author can himself give is interpretation in the form of a confrontation." Here we find Heidegger not only defending his work against misreadings, but also confronting it as his own most critical reader. Scott M. Campbell's meticulous translation offers illuminating English versions of these challenging texts. This unique volume is essential for serious students of Heidegger's thought."-Richard Polt, Scott Hyland
