The European Centre for Heidegger Studies runs frequent Zoom webinars and in-person events in collaboration with Dr. Alfred Denker. All times are Central European Time (CET)

As ECHS is run entirely without external funding, we rely upon your generosity in order to allow these events to take place.

As such, while we offer many free online events, most of our webinars require some level of financial contribution.

Prices are kept as low as possible, and discounts are available for students, those of low income, and those who subscribe to Dr. Denker’s Patreon.

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 4  Miles Groth, Hannah Arendt and the “Englishing” of Heidegger in America, Part 2

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

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 3:    Miles Groth, Hannah Arendt and the “Englishing” of Heidegger in America, Part 1

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

·      Hannah Arendt and Glenn Gray, Correspondence

·      Miles Groth, Hannah Arendt and the “Englishing” of Heidegger in America

“Heidegger’s incomplete lecture course Introduction to Philosophy—Thinking and Poetizing originates from the 1944 Winter Semester at Freiburg and appears in this volume along with revisions and notes from volume 50 of the Heidegger Gesamtausgabe. The 1944 lecture course Introduction to Philosophy opens with Heidegger clarifying that, despite the title, it is not an introduction (Einleitung) to philosophy. Instead, Heidegger proposes a guide (Anleitung) to philosophy, or more precisely, a guide to thinking, in which we will be guided by the thinker Nietzsche. And it is especially the relationship between Nietzsche’s poetry and philosophy that Heidegger suggests will help guide us. To articulate his method of thinking about Nietzsche’s thinking and its poetic character, Heidegger continually employs a string of German verbs formed from the word denken (to think): Andenken (to think of, to reflect), mit-denken (to think with), zudenken (to-be-thought), and nach-denken (to think about). The verb nachdenken also implies a way to gain access to things and objects in the sense of “contemplation,” and I have translated it as “to contemplate” when the context requires this more robust sense of the word. Whenever Heidegger hyphenates the verb nachdenken as nach-denken, then the parallel hyphenation results in “con-template,” emphasizing the directional pursuit of the task of thinking.

The 1944 lecture course Introduction to Philosophy opens with Heidegger clarifying that, despite the title, it is not an introduction (Einleitung) to philosophy. Instead, Heidegger proposes a guide (Anleitung) to philosophy, or more precisely, a guide to thinking, in which we will be guided by the thinker Nietzsche. And it is especially the relationship between Nietzsche’s poetry and philosophy that Heidegger suggests will help guide us. To articulate his method of thinking about Nietzsche’s thinking and its poetic character, Heidegger continually employs a string of German verbs formed from the word denken (to think): Andenken (to think of, to reflect), mit-denken (to think with), zudenken (to-be-thought), and nach-denken (to think about). The verb nachdenken also implies a way to gain access to things and objects in the sense of “contemplation,” and I have translated it as “to contemplate” when the context requires this more robust sense of the word. Whenever Heidegger hyphenates the verb nachdenken as nach-denken, then the parallel hyphenation results in “con-template,” emphasizing the directional pursuit of the task of thinking.
