Description
Being and Time
Martin Heidegger
Seminar of three hours twice a month, held together with Alexi Kukuljevic
Martin Heidegger’s Being and Time, published as an unfinished book in 1927 in Edmund Husserl’s “Annals of philosophy and research in phenomenology” is a book which had a lasting mark on twentieth century philosophy, even though Heidegger’himself almost immediately broke with some of its assumptions.
Heidegger develops the view that the innermost character of the human being or Dasein, in its very finitude, involves an essential relation not to this one life, nor to the truth of beings, but to the very question of being qua being, which will remain for him the only question worthy of philosophy, of that which he in this book still calls “metaphysics” or “fundamental ontology”.
This first “draft” of Heidegger’s philosophy produces a radical break with the positing of man as a subject, a position linked to the modern anthropological stance of philosophy. Being and Timerelocates the question of being outside of any subject-object relation, and thus, outside of the epistemological privilege of theoretical knowledge. The treatise purports to uncover and think that which the tradition has left unthought, namely the difference of being to all beings. This is explored by a threefold articulation. Phenomenologically: any appearing of beings points to being as to that which never enters into appearance, whose retreat from the visible conditions all appearance. Existentially : in anxiety, Dasein is ripped out of its being-in-the phenomenal world, and thrown back on the openness of the question of being that it is. Ontologically: the difference of being qua being is indebted to its reinscription in the horizon of temporality.
This threefold destitution of the subject shows itself to be a mainstay of contemporary thought; it branches out into existentialism, phenomenology, deconstruction, poststructuralism, including thinkers who are not labelled as heideggerians such as Foucault and Deleuze, and some recent ecological reflexions (Latour).
In this seminar, we will read the book section by section; no foreknowledge is necessary. The discussions will thematize its contemporary import.
