Studia Heideggeriana invites submissions for its forthcoming volume, devoted to the theme “Paths of Time.” The volume takes as its point of departure Martin Heidegger’s 1925 summer course, Prolegomena to the History of the Concept of Time, insofar as it constitutes one of the decisive gateways to the elaboration of Being and Time, whose centenary is approaching. In this sense, the volume deliberately situates itself in the run-up to that anniversary, proposing a reflection on the conceptual foundations which, in the years immediately preceding 1927, made possible the formulation of existential analytic and the question of being. In particular, it aims to reconsider the scope of Heidegger’s thematization of time and of the a priori as a title of being, as it unfolds in the 1925 course.

This call is also connected with the lines of research and discussion developed at the VIII International Congress of the Ibero-American Society for Heidegger Studies, held in Brazil from November 4 to 6, 2025, on these same issues, with the aim of providing a space for the development, expansion, and publication of the papers presented there, as well as for new contributions that engage with this thematic framework.

For Heidegger, Edmund Husserl took a decisive step in freeing the a priori from the subjective limits to which Kant had confined it. Ideation, as a moment of categorial intuition, shows that non-sensible meanings configure and constitute the visibility of what is real; yet, as data given to intuition, they are not subjective. At the same time, insofar as they exceed particular experience, they are not grounded in effective reality either. In this sense, if the intuitive experience that fulfills a meaning and allows the entity to be seen as such implies an intuition of being, then being is that which, in principle, configures the visibility of the real: the a priori is a title of being.

Overcoming both subjectivism and naïve realism, it becomes necessary to think the temporal nature of the a priori and its reference to constitutive understanding. The a priori—as a title of being—is the prior (das Frühere) insofar as it is originary with respect to any interpretation of the modes of being of entities. For this reason, the question of the genuine a priori leads back to the elaboration of the temporal meaning of being itself, as that which, in its very originarity, must account for the ultimate sphere of possibility (Gegebenheit) of the givenness of entities. It is within this horizon that a determinate research attitude takes root: thinking along the paths of time.

For over a century, Heidegger’s reflection on temporality has continued to stimulate philosophical debate and dialogue across various fields, such as existential phenomenology, phenomenological ontology, and the philosophy of the human and natural sciences. The aim of this volume is to revisit and deepen the main aspects of Heidegger’s philosophy related to temporality, highlighting its central role in the constitution of being, existence, and historicity.

Suggested topics (non-exhaustive):
• The historicity of being
• Existential analysis and temporality
• Philosophy, thought, and the history of philosophy
• Tradition, deconstruction, and overcoming
• Heidegger, cultural memory studies, and the philosophy of memory
• Heidegger, theories of health, and phenomenological psychopathology
• The question of technology and the Anthropocene

Open section
The volume will also include an open section, which welcomes original contributions on any aspect of Martin Heidegger’s thought, as well as comparative studies, critical interpretations, or thematic developments related to his philosophical legacy.
