A s the majority of the essays gathered here stem from the Emory University conference Heideggers Black Notebooks: Philosophy, Politics, Anti-Semitism, the editors would like to thank the Emory Conference Center Subvention Fund, the Center for Faculty Development and Excellence, the Office of the Provost, the Office of the Dean of Emory College of Arts and Sciences, the Hightower Fund, the departments of philosophy, comparative literature, German studies, and French and Italian, the Graduate Institute of the Liberal Arts, and the Tam Institute for Jewish Studies for their generous assistance in making the conference possible. The editors would also like to thank the graduate student assistants to that conference, Katherine Davies, Lily Levy, and Christopher Merwin, for their dedication and effort.

Hans Ulrich Gumbrechts article first appeared in German in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung , April 25, 2015, https://blogs.faz.net/digital/2015/04/25/herrlich-volklicher-wille-was-zeigt-sich-in-heideggers-schwarzen-heften-838/.

Finally, at Columbia University Press, we are grateful to our editor Wendy Lochner for her encouragement, support, and patience with this project from the very beginning.

R eferences to the works of Martin Heidegger are provided parenthetically in the text by Gesamtausgabe volume ( GA ), with German pagination provided first, followed by a slash and the English pagination of published translations where extant. The only exception to this is Being and Time ( GA 2) where no English pagination is provided, but rather the Gesamtausgabe pagination is followed by the German pagination of the single edition published by Niemeyer (included as marginal pagination in all three of the English translations of Being and Time ). Modifications to published translations are noted by tm, modifications to emphasis by em. Where no English translation pagination is provided, translations are by the author unless otherwise specified.
