ABSTRACT
With Being and Time and Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics, Martin Heidegger embraces the transcendental turn in philosophy with Kant serving as its historical motivation. This chapter details Heidegger's attempt to work out a new historical motivation for his transfigured philosophy, one that will be mindful of the distance between his own thought and Kant's, and yet one in which again Kant plays a privileged role. In the Contributions, he writes, "What is happening everywhere here is really history, which remains out of the reach of what is merely historiographical, because this history is not a matter of allowing the past to come up but rather is in all respects the momentum over to what is to come". The significance of the revised Kant book stems not only from its proximity to the Contributions but also from its relation to the three lecture courses that surround it.
