Important German philosopher (1889–1976) whose Being and Time was a fundamental text in the development of existentialism. Untranslated handwritten notes in German, unsigned, 14 pages, measuring 4 x 5.75 to 5.75 x 8.25, no date but circa 1972–73. A collection of Heidegger’s handwritten thoughts, notes, and excerpts on Hans-Georg Gadamer’s work entitled ‘Writings III. Idea and language. Plato, Husserl, Heidegger.’ Also included is a smaller slip with a few lines of handwritten notes, as well as a paper folder which Heidegger labeled “Gadamer III.” In fine condition.
Gadamer’s book, the third in a four-volume series of his writings, was published in 1972. Gadamer studied under Heidegger during his professorship at the University of Marburg, where Heidegger was developing the main theme of his philosophy—the question of the sense of being—which culminated in the publication of his best-known work, Being and Time, in 1927. While Gadamer’s greatest contributions were in the field of hermeneutics, some of his work also concentrated on the history of philosophy, studying Plato, Aristotle, Hegel, and Heidegger in particular. A fascinating collection of Heidegger’s notes concerning his former pupil, who was emerging as a prominent philosopher himself. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA.
