Joan Stambaugh's translations of the works of Heidegger, accomplished with his guidance, have made key aspects of his thought and philosophy accessible to readers of English for many years. The End of Philosophy is one in a series of Heidegger books newly reissued. This collection, says the translator, "contains Heidegger's attempt to show the history of Being as metaphysics." Three of the chapters--"Metaphysics as History of Being," "Sketches for a History of Being as Metaphysics," and "Recollection in Metaphysics"--are taken from the end of volume II of Heidegger's Nietzsche; the last, "Overcoming Metaphysics," is taken from Heidegger's Vortr&aulm;ge und Aufsätze.
