520 $aThis book, the text of Martin Heidegger's lecture
course of 1929/30, is crucial for an understanding of
Heidegger's transition from the major work of his early
years, Being and Time, to his later preoccupations with
language, truth, and history. First published in German in
1983 as volume 29/30 of Heidegger's collected works, The
Fundamental Concepts of Metaphysics presents an extended
treatment of the history of metaphysics and an elaboration
of a philosophy of life and nature. Heidegger's concepts of
organism, animal behavior, and environment are uniquely
developed and defined with intensity. Of major interest is
Heidegger's brilliant phenomenological description of the
mood of boredom, which he describes as a "fundamental
attunement" of modern times.
