Heidegger toward the Turn is the first sustained critical reflection on topics that came to dominate Heidegger s thinking during the 1930s, when his thinking is said to have undergone a turn. These topics include the nature of the truth of being, the destruction of the history of metaphysics, the relation between art and philosophy, and the thinking of human destiny within the political climate of National Socialism.
