In the first three lectures the background and genesis of Being and Time. What is fundamental ontology? What is an existential analytic of Dasein? What is the relation between the two?

Heidegger had announced for Sommer Semester 191941/42 a lecture course on “Nietzscheʼs Metaphysics”. Instead, he would do lecture course on Hölderlin. In the lecture course Heidegger determines and explains Nietzscheʼs fundamental metaphysical position based on five key terms: will to power, nihilism, the eternal recurrence of the same, the overman, and justice. The course thus offers Heideggerʼs final interpretation of Nietzscheʼs metaphysics.

This webinar is dedicated to the reception of Heidegger’s thinking in the United States, the history of his translations, and the problem of translation. The webinar is based on the correspondence between Hann Arendt and Glenn Gray. Also of interest are Arendt letters with several others on matters Heidegger: an early champion of Jewish-Christian unity and a sort of Sophie Blumenthal, whose attacks on Heidegger elicited a letter of response which is in GA and one of the few places he outright defends himself. There is in the correspondence a lot about the background of Heidegger’s knowledge and understanding of Being and Time, and how it was being presented in English, the visits of Glenn Gray and David Krell. It also contains a lot about how Arendt was feeling about Heidegger in the years 1962-1976, the background of her visits to him, Elfride’s reactions, etc. There are many first-hand reports about Heidegger’s health, comments on America. During the final session we will focus on the problems of translation Heidegger into English.

Session 6    Franz Mayr, The Question of Being, Translation, and Language

The texts we will discuss, will be made available as PDFs to the participants:

This lecture course will be a full-scale interpretation of Heidegger’s Life and Thinking from 1889 until 1928. It will be the first volume of a three-volume book project.  In it I will trace Heidegger’s way of thinking from the beginning until the end of the Marburg period in 1928, that is, after the publication of Being and Time. I will pay special attention to the philosophical investigations in their relatedness and unity. Heidegger is always working on different projects at the same time. Besides an interpretation of Heidegger’s way of thinking I will also delve into his biography and show how is life and thinking are intertwined and shed light on each other.

This webinar is dedicated to the reception of Heidegger’s thinking in the United States, the history of his translations, and the problem of translation. The webinar is based on the correspondence between Hann Arendt and Glenn Gray. Also of interest are Arendt letters with several others on matters Heidegger: an early champion of Jewish-Christian unity and a sort of Sophie Blumenthal, whose attacks on Heidegger elicited a letter of response which is in GA and one of the few places he outright defends himself. There is in the correspondence a lot about the background of Heidegger’s knowledge and understanding of Being and Time, and how it was being presented in English, the visits of Glenn Gray and David Krell. It also contains a lot about how Arendt was feeling about Heidegger in the years 1962-1976, the background of her visits to him, Elfride’s reactions, etc. There are many first-hand reports about Heidegger’s health, comments on America. During the final session we will focus on the problems of translation Heidegger into English.
