Martin Heidegger’s Beiträge zur Philosophie (Vom Ereignis), a work written between 1936 and 1938 but only published in 1989, is a complicated and problematic work. Although some have suggested it is his second major work after Being and Time, Heidegger knew that this was a text that was ripe for misunderstandings and misinterpretations, and suggested that it only be published in his collected edition, the Gesamtausgabe, after the lecture courses had all appeared. The lecture courses, which he saw as propaedeutics for this work, provide—among other things—a rereading of the tradition from the perspective of Heidegger’s concern with being.
