 A Lecture by

Thomas Sheehan


 

What Will
Heidegger
Have Been
?

What Heidegger will have been depends in large measure on how one interprets key terms within his writings, for example, Sein and Dasein, Kehre and Ereignis, Geworfenheit and Entwurf, Geschichte and Entzug. Some would argue that more than a quarter century after his death, and after the publication of some eighty volumes of his writings, there is still no solid consensus on what Heidegger's "one and only thought" (Was heisst Denken? 24) was. Without pretending to answer that last question, the lecture will probe the possible meanings of key terms in Heidegger's thought, in the service of a revised understanding of what Heidegger has been and could yet be.

Friday, November 1, 7:30 to 10:00 p.m. in EESAT 110
