Most specialists of #Islamic #intellectual_history know about the connection between the philosopher and Orientalist specialist of philosophy in #Iran Henry Corbin (1903-1978) and the German philosopher #MartinHeidegger (1889-1973) - a short thread 1/ 
Corbin first met #Heidegger in #Freiburg in 1934 and took on the translation of Was ist Metaphysik? as well as some other works and entered into a correspondence and meetings on the work 2/
That edition also included the first excerpts of #SeinundZeit in French and Corbin discussed the translation of key terms with #Heidegger 4/
Sylvain Camilleri and Daniel Proulx have put together a dossier of the #Heidegger and Corbin correspondence amiscorbin.com/wp-content/upl… 5/
Corbin continued to translate #SeinundZeit probably until his period in #Istanbul during the war working on editions of #Suhrawardi (d. 1191) - this remained unpublished perhaps because he had found in the Iranian thinker a phenomenological hermeneutics to replace #Heidegger 6/
