A new translation of Heidegger's early work "The Saying of Anaximander", which is one of the 6 major papers published within the massive work "Holzwege" originally published in 1914. This edition contains a new afterword by the Translator, a timeline of Heidegger's life and works, a philosophic index of core Heideggerian concepts and a guide for Existentialist terminology across 19th and 20th century Existentialists. This translation is designed for readability and accessibility to Heidegger's enigmatic and dense philosophy. Complex and specific philosophic terms are translated as literally as possible and academic footnotes have been removed to ensure easy reading. Heidegger builds an expansive interpretation of Anaximander's only surviving fragment of text. He uses this one sentence as a starting point to discuss themes of being, becoming, and the enigmatic core of human existence. Heidegger reads Anaximander's saying in a way that aligns with his own philosophical inquiries into the emergence and withdrawal of being, the interplay of presence and absence, and the fundamental question of Being.
