Notes

¹Ordinarily, the German term “Besinnung” would be translated as “meditation,” “meditating,” or even “pondering”; “mindfulness” was selected for the English title of this particular book, and should not be regarded a literal “translation” but rather a creative rendering of Heidegger's own title.
