Students and scholars alike can now see for themselves why Heidegger's lectures on the Greeks in the 1920s caused such a stir, and they can judge just what it means to read a Greek text with Heidegger. The English translation is excellent, managing to capture some of the vibrancy of the lectures while maintaining a high degree of accuracy and readability.
Thematic and methodological parallels render this volume a fine source for those interested in the archaeology of Being and Time. . . . The text shows us a young Martin Heidegger at ease and passionate about his subject.
