Example text

Translation mine. 16. Thus, Heidegger will say a bit later that “everything is posed . . upon . . questioning” (translation mine); the original reads, “Alles ist auf . . das Fragen . . gestellt” (GA 65, 10). The translation of this passage in Contributions reads: “Everything is geared toward . . questioning” (CP, 7).
