The second book of notes on the works of Martin Heidegger by Maurice Blanchot published in Russian includes summaries of texts from the collection Holzwege (Off The Beaten Track, 1950), which presents and explores in detail, in a tightly interwoven manner, themes subsequently developed by the German philosopher: the meaning of art (and, in contrast, technology); the historical vector of development of Western civilization; the significance of Nietzsche, who finalizes metaphysics and outlines the path of post-metaphysical thinking; the role of poetry and, more broadly, language in the revelation of being; and the questioning of being (and its obliteration) in early Greek thought. United by a close attention to language, these themes, mediated by Blanchot's work, which transformed the question of being into a question of literature, exerted a significant influence on all French thought in the second half of the 20th century. The book allows us to trace the origins of this influence, while at the same time concisely outlines the knot of problems that troubled the late Heidegger.
