Rowman & Littlefield Publishers Thought Poems: Heidegger's Verse Translation - Rowman & Littlefield

Explore the poetic side of one of history's most significant philosophers. While Martin Heidegger's shift toward poetry is a recognized part of his later career, his own original verse has often been overlooked.

This volume contains a translation of GA81 from Heidegger's collected works. It is designed for deep study, allowing you to read the original German version alongside the English text. These Gedachtes, or thought-poems, represent Heidegger's language at its most beautiful. The poems are musical, allusive, and engage deeply with the primordial relationships of humanity. By studying these verses, readers can find new ways to understand Heideggerian poetics and the profound connections within his philosophy.
