Originally published in German under the title Holzwege, this collection of texts is Heidegger's first post-war work and contains some of the major expositions of his later philosophy. Although translations of the essays have appeared individually in a variety of places (and some are currently unavailable), this is the first English translation to bring them together as Heidegger intended.
