This webinar is dedicated to Heidegger՚s second main work Contributions to Philosophy. On Enowning. The large manuscript was published posthumously because it could only be understood after his lecture courses would have been digested. It is the turning point from the existential analytic of Dasein, Fundamental Ontology, and Metaphysics into Being-historical Thinking, and his work after 1945. Since it is an attempt to think in a non-metaphysical language, the book is notoriously difficult to understand. This is the first of two webinars that will take on the challenge of making sense of the Contributions to Philosophy.
