"This book, one of the most frequently cited works on Martin Heidegger in any language, belongs on any short list of classic studies of Continental philosophy. William J. Richardson explores the famous turn (Kehre) in Heidegger's thought after Being in Time and demonstrates how this transformation was radical without amounting to a simple contradiction of his earlier views."

Was ist Metaphysik? ist der Titel der offentlichen Antrittsvorlesung Martin Heidegger an der Universitat Freiburg i.Br. am 24. Juli 1929. Der Vortrag stellt einen wichtigen Ubergang zwischen der fundamentalontologisch-existenzialen Konzeption von aSein und Zeit und dem seinsgeschichtlichen Denken in Heideggers Spatwerk dar. In diesem Vortrag bestimmt Heidegger das Nichts als die Grundfrage der Philosophie, die den Menschen in seiner Existenz als immer schon in der Metaphysik stehendes Wesen eigentlich angeht: Das menschliche Dasein kann sich nur zu Seiendem verhalten, wenn es sich in das...
