This 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.
