"Black Notebooks" - this is what Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) called black oilcloth notebooks with notes and reflections of various kinds, which he kept since 1931. There were thirty-four of them. According to the will of the author, the Frankfurt publishing house Vittorio Klostermann began to publish them after all the books and lecture courses. The 95th volume of the Collected Works of M. Heidegger, the translation of which we offer you, contains records dating back to 1938-1939 (Reflections VII-XI). The publisher of Black Notebooks Peter Travna described Heidegger's reflections based on his own self-assessment: these are not "aphorisms" as evidence of worldly wisdom, but "inconspicuous outposts - and rearguard positions" - in a holistic attempt to conquer the path for initial questioning, which, unlike metaphysical, calls itself Genesis-historical thinking. The philosopher applies this method to the situation in religion, art and science.
