NT: The appeal to the ‘Sachen selbst’, which Heidegger presents as virtually a slogan for Husserl’s phenomenology, is not easy to translate without giving misleading impressions. What Husserl has in mind is the ‘things’ that words may be found to signify when their significations are correctly intuited by the right kind of Anschauung. (Cf. his Logische Untersuchungen, vol. 2, part I, second edition, Halle, 1913, p. 6.) We have followed Marvin Farber in adopting ‘the things themselves’. (Cf. his The Foundation of Phenomenology, Cambridge, Mass., 1943, pp. 202-3.) The word ‘Sache’ will, of course, be translated in other ways also. [BTMR]
