关于人道主义的书信

简介

The text answers questions the French philosopher Jean Beaufret had sent Heidegger after the war, among them how to restore meaning to the word humanism. Heidegger wrote it in autumn 1946, when he was barred from teaching, and published it in 1947 together with an essay on Plato’s doctrine of truth. He rejects Sartre’s reading of Being and Time: “existence precedes essence” merely reverses a metaphysical formula. All humanism, he argues, remains metaphysics because it defines the human being without asking about being. The human being is rather the “shepherd of being”, and thinking happens in attending to language. The letter is a key document of Heidegger’s later thought and of his post-war reception in France.
