Holzwege ( Off the Beaten Track ) was originally published in 1950 and contains some of the most important of Heidegger's later writings, in which he critically addresses the history of metaphysics and searches for new pathways of thinking in encounters with art, poetry, and Presocratic philosophy. In this volume, renowned international researchers interpret these texts within the context of Heidegger's own thinking and the history of philosophy.
