Jean Beaufret, known for having asked Heidegger the questions that motivated his famous "Letter on Humanism", rehearses a new dialogue with the philosopher by writing these works that reflect Heidegger's position on Greek thought.

We could say that the great question for Heidegger has been: what is philosophy? And that the Greeks have been our initiators in philosophy, since without them there would be no philosophy. But how has the beginning been from where they have entered into the question? Can it be said that philosophy has had an origin? Jean Beaufret elaborates in Dialogue with Heidegger. Greek philosophy discusses these questions and shows in what sense for Heidegger the Greek word remains enigmatic.
