This brand new translation of Martin Heidgger''s Mindfulness (Besinnung) makes available in English for the first time Heidegger''s second major being-historical treatise. Here Heidegger returns to and elaborates in detail many of the individual dimensions of the historically self-showing and transforming allotments of be-ing. In addition to the main text, this volume also includes two further important texts, A Retrospective Look at the Pathway (1937/8) and ''The Wish and the Will (On Preserving What is Attempted)'' (1937/8), in which Heidegger surveys his unpublished works, gives instructions for their eventual publication, talks about his relationship to Catholic and Protestant Christianity, and reflects on his life''s path. This is a major new translation of a key text from one of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century.
