It is informative, but also interesting and at times inspiring, to be privy to early stages of these definitive strands in Heidegger's later thinking, cryptic symbols and all.
Rojcewicz's translation. . . is flawless and extremely readable. . . . Highly recommended.
For those who want to understand where Heidegger was 'coming from,' and how, as he saw it, his abstract ideas related to his own times, the Notebooks are indispensable reading.
