Since its 1929 publication, philosophers have been more or less unsure what to make of Heideggers Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics. Although it wielded more than its fair share of influence over the course of the twentieth century, its chief interpretive claims are mostly untenable today. Of course, it has always been recognized that the book was never intended as a straightforward piece of Kant interpretation. But neither does it appear to be a reliable presentation of Heideggers own thought. The result has been that, for all its influence, Heideggers book has fallen into a kind of academic limbo, a concern for neither scholars of Heidegger nor scholars of Kant. My goal is to help return to Heideggers reading of Kant its provocative power. I do so by means of a conceptual genesis of Heideggers reading of Kant that takes both thinkers, as far as possible, on their own terms, but includes an investigation into why Heidegger was so convincedfor a few decisive years, at leastthat he had to be able to find in Kant a precedent for his own path of thinking.
