Features: This article discusses the phenomenology in Heidegger's early Freiburg lectures. The author explores Heidegger's formal manifestation phenomenology of this period from two perspectives: domain and methodology. In terms of domain, Heidegger attempts to break through the "knowledge" or "theory" limitations of Husserl's phenomenology and delve into the "pre-theoretical" level, that is, the so-called "original thing" of the pre-theoretical. In terms of methodology, Heidegger meditates on and practices his so-called "formal manifestation" approach and discourse, striving to distinguish himself from the formalized thought methods of traditional philosophy. The author believes that the phenomenological method of "formal manifestation" is the most distinctive and creative component of Heidegger's phenomenological philosophy before Being and Time. Moreover, due to this methodological exploration, it also influences the later philosophical path of Heidegger, and thus generally marks the phenomenological characteristics of Heidegger's entire thought. The lectures and papers of the renowned German thinker Martin Heidegger during his early Freiburg period (1919-1923) are regarded as the true beginning of his thought. The author attempts to practice innovative ideas and expressions marked by "formal manifestation phenomenology" in these works. This book collects three important papers from this period, along with key chapters from three lecture drafts, providing Chinese readers with a basic reading material to enter the early philosophy of Heidegger.
