HEIDEGGER SEMINAR ACADEMIC YEAR 2002-2003
Please be kind enough this message to forward to people you believe would
be interested to know about this.
Heythrop College, University of London and the Margaret Beaufort Institute in
Cambridge will for the second year running continue our very successful
seminar in Martin Heidegger's "Beitraege zur Philosophie: vom Ereignis".
Alongside Being and Time, this text is arguably the place where Heidegger
most lays out his own fundamental philosophical position.
The Beitraege is Volume 65 of the Heidegger Gesamtausgabe (Frankfurt,
Klostermann, 1989), written in the years 1936-38. English Translation
"Contributions to Philosophy: from Enowning" (Indiana University Press,
Bloomington, 1999). It is related in its themes and concerns with the text
Besinnung (Volume 66 of the Gesamtausgabe) written in the years after the
Beitraege.
The seminar will be conducted by Dr. Laurence Hemming of Heythrop
College and Dr. Susan Parsons of the Margaret Beaufort Institute. It is open
to University faculty members and postgraduate research students in the UK.
The seminar meets at 2.00pm for two hours on alternate Monday afternoons
during term-time, at Heythrop College in Kensington Square, London. The
seminar works principally from the German text, and some reading
knowledge of German will be essential, although every effort will be made to
help those whose German is not strong. Participants will be expected to
have their own English and German copies of the text (although we have two
available for purchase).
Because the Beitraege covers the whole range of Heidegger's researches,
members of the seminar will be expected to undertake some reading of
sections of other Heidegger texts, and participants will be presumed to have
a rudimentary knowledge of Sein und Zeit, at least in English. The
atmosphere of the seminar is hardworking, informal, and collaborative,
although we hope that those attending will make a strong commitment to the
group.
