Ebook: Logic: The Question of Truth

"Martin Heidegger's 1925-26 lectures on truth and time provided much of the basis for his momentous work, Being and Time. Not published until 1976 as volume 21 of the Complete Works, three months before Heidegger's death, this work is central to Heidegger's overall project of reinterpreting Western thought in terms of time and truth. The text shows the degree to which Aristotle underlies Heidegger's hermeneutical theory of meaning. It also contains Heidegger's first published critique of Husserl and takes major steps toward establishing the temporal bases of logic and truth. Thomas Sheehan's elegant and insightful translation offers English-speaking readers access to this fundamental text for the first time"--Back cover.;The first, most literal meaning of the word "logic" -- A first indication of the concept of the subject matter of "logic" -- A philosophizing logic and traditional scholastic logic -- The possibility and the being of truth in general ; Skepticism -- Outline of the course ; Bibliography -- Psychologism : the name and the concept -- Husserl's critique of psychologism -- The presuppositions of Husserl's critique : a specific concept of truth as the guiding idea -- The roots of these presuppositions -- Anti-critical questions ; The need to take the question of the essence of truth back to Aristotle -- The place of truth, and logos (proposition) -- The basic structure of logos and the phenomenon of making sense -- The conditions of the possibility of logos being false ; The question of truth -- The presupposition for Aristotle's interpretation of truth as the authentic determination of being -- The idea of a phenomenological chronology -- The conditions of the possibility of falsehood within the horizon of the analysis of existence -- Care as the being of existence ; Concern-for and concern-about, authenticity and inauthenticity -- The ur-temporality of care -- Preparatory considerations toward attaining an original understanding of time ; A return to the history of the philosophical interpretation of the concept of time -- Hegel's interpretation of time in the Encylopaedia -- The influence of Aristotle on Hegel's and Bergson's interpretation of time -- A preliminary look at the meaning of time in Kant's Critique of pure reason -- The interpretation of time in the Transcendental Analytic -- The function of time in the Transcendental Logic ; A characterization of the problematic ; The question of the unity of nature ; The original a priori of all combining -- the transcendental unity of apperception -- Time as the universal a priori form of all appearances -- Time as original pure self-affection -- The question about the connection between time as original self-affection and the "I think" -- Interpretation of the First Analogy of Experience in the light of our interpretation of time -- The schematism of the pure concepts of the understanding -- Number as the schema of quantity -- Sensation as the schema of reality -- Persistence as the schema of substance -- The now-structure that we have attained : its character of referral and of making present ; The phenomenal demonstrability and limits of Kant's interpretation of time -- Time as an existential of human existence -- temporality and the structure of care ; The statement as a making-present.
