HEIDEGGER 2000 The Many Heideggers: Interpreting the Future of Heideggerean Studies April 19 - April 22, 2000 Denton, TX

The Department of Philosophy and Religion Studies at the University of North Texas is proud to announce the Twentieth Conference on the Life and Philosophy of Martin Heidegger. "The Many Heideggers" theme seeks to address how Heidegger interpreted his own work, how his thought was interpreted by his contemporaries, and the various "successors" who have used Heidegger as a starting point for a new direction in philosophy. The Heidegger 2000 conference is primarily interested in how these diverse interpretations lay the ground for ontological studies in the 21st Century. Colloquium, Symposium, and Panel themes include, but are not limited to

Techne vs. Technicity Heideggerean Philosophy and Environmental Ethics The Future of Heidegger Studies Is English Inadequate for Ontological Research? Heideggerean Interpretations of Being-Religious
