Martin Heidegger, Parménides (Carlos Másmela, trad.): Madrid, Akal, 2005, 224 pp. Colección Nuestro Tiempo

Abstract

The collection that Félix Duque directs at the Akal publishing house, bears the name of the very significant title of Nuestro Tiempo, which now introduces us to one of Heidegger's main texts: Parmenides, a title that corresponds to the course taught in the semester of the winter of 1942-1943, at the University of Freiburg, by the German philosopher who actually dedicated it to studying and analyzing the known fragments of Parmenides and Heraclitus. Parmenides is important because it is not just another publication by the German philosopher, not even because it allows us to «experience» his way of doing, of teaching, of «cooking» concepts. The text is in itself necessary and important, as we believe, because it reveals the essential core of Heidegger's philosophy: his conception of truth.
