Notes

  1. See Robert C. Scharff, Heidegger Becoming Phenomenological: Interpreting Husserl Through Dilthey, 1916–1925 (London: Rowman & Littlefield, 2019), where Scharff argues, in light of the early Freiburg lectures courses, against the general interpretive position, that “Heidegger was never any kind of Husserlian revisionist” (Scharff 2019: xiv). See also Theodore J. Kisiel’s groundbreaking study on Heidegger’s early work prior to the publication of Being and Time, The Genesis of Heidegger’s Being and Time (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1993), where Kisiel seeks to show that approaching Being and Time in light of this early material “makes us look at its passing landscape in a way that is quite different, traveling against the grain of many an old interpretation” (Kisiel 1993: 5).

  2. The excerpts from this unpublished manuscript on “The Legacy of the Question of Being,” McNeill notes, “were made available in limited circulation by the Heidegger Gesellschaft in 2011–2012” (p. 124).

  3. See Thomas Sheehan, Making Sense of Heidegger: A Paradigm Shift (London: Rowman & Littlefield, 2015) and William J. Richardson, S. J., Heidegger. Through Phenomenology to Thought, second edition (New York: Fordham University Press, 2003).

  4. Although McNeill does not treat this lecture course, he mentions it twice in passing (see p. 8 and p. 104).
