8 Martin Heidegger was born in Messkirch, Baden, on September 26, 1889.
9 By “Critical” [Kritisches; the word appears in cursive] Husserl means texts in SZ that he takes
to be critical of others, perhaps also of himself. The fifteen page numbers that follow are
reproduced as Husserl wrote them in his own copy of the book. They correspond to SZ-1. The
corresponding pages in SZ-15, as well as in BT-1 and BT-2 are provided in the footnotes that
immediately follow.
10 This page number is keyed to Husserl’s phrase “ungrounded classifying” in the preceding line,
and it refers ahead to: SZ-1 271.38S272.2 = SZ-15 271.38S272.3 = BT-1 317.7-9 = BT-2 251.26-
29, specifically to: “any ungrounded framework of classified mental faculties or personal acts.”
Some of the objects of Heidegger’s criticism are listed in his footnote at that text.
This page number is keyed to Husserl’s word “staring” in the previous line, and it refers ahead
to: SZ, 1st ed. 273.12-16 = SZ-15 273.15-19 = BT-1 318.1-5 = BT-2 252.22-26, specifically to:
“...the self that is found by ‘analytically’ staring at one’s mental states and what lies behind
them.” Husserl’s first remark on “staring” is at SZ-1 74.9-12 = SZ-15 74.7-10 = BT-1 104.5-9 =
BT-2 69.21-24.
12 It is not clear what this page number refers to. The only mark on p. 274 of Husserl’s copy of SZ
is a short dash in the left margin at: SZ-1 274, ca. line 12 = SZ-15 274, ca. lines 13-14 = BT-1
319, ca. line 1 = BT-2 253 ca. line 15, that is, near the text: “...the call [of conscience] gets heard
in such a way that instead of becoming authentically understood, it gets drawn by the Anyoneself
into a debate-like soliloquy and gets perverted in its tendency to disclose.”
13 This refers to SZ-1 278.10-14 = SZ-15 278.10-14 = BT-1 323.10-13 = BT-2 256.34-38 where
Heidegger criticizes any analysis in which Dasein’s being is underestimated, i.e., taken “as a
harmless subject, endowed with personal consciousness, which somehow or other happens to
occur.” Husserl marks the passage with “!! N.B.”

See SZ-1 286.20 = SZ-15 286.19 = BT-1 332.17 = BT-2 264.2: “the idea of ‘value.’”

Below at SZ-1 294.14-16 = SZ-15 294.12-15 = BT-1 340.28-31 = BT-2 271.10-13 Heidegger
criticizes Scheler’s demand for a “material ethics of value” as contrasted with a merely formal
one, by suggesting it is based in part on “common-sense concern, which forces Dasein’s
