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.
Heidegger: Introduction to Phenomenological Research (10th session)
Heidegger’s Lecture Series: Introduction to Phenomenological Research
A new 10 session Zoom webinar series led by Dr. Alfred Denker
Tenth session: Introduction to phenomenological research, 203-221
In the winter semester 1923-1924, at Marburg, Heidegger held a lecture series entitled “Introduction to Phenomenological Research”. In these lectures Heidegger aims to grasp phenomenological research more originally as a phenomenology of existence. Starting with Aristotle, Heidegger traces the basic elements of phenomenological research through Descartes and Husserl, before putting forth the notion that existence is of vital importance to phenomenological research.
This webinar is a reading seminar. Every session we will read passages selected by the seminar head from the text. These selections will make the train of thought clear and focus on the most important passages in the text. Participants are invited to formulate questions and remarks that can be discussed during the sessions. They can also choose passages that they would like to discuss. The text will be provided as a PDF.

Heidegger: Hölderlin's Hymn "Remembrance" (10th session)
Heidegger’s Lecture Series ‘Hölderlin’s Hymn “Remembrance”’
A new series of 10 Zoom webinars led by Dr. Alfred Denker.
Tenth session: Hölderlin’s Hymn Remembrance, 154-166
In the winter semester 1941-1942 Heidegger gave a lecture series in Freiburg on Hölderlin’s hymn “Remembrance”. In this lecture series, developing his earlier engagement with Hölderlin’s poetry in the mid 1930s, Heidegger gives a close reading of Hölderlin’s hymn in relation to the same themes of thinking and poeticising towards a retrieval of original Greek thought which occupied Heidegger in his contemporaneous works at this time.
As the lecture course explains, remembrance (in German, Andenken), is a particular kind of thinking (Denken), a “commemorative thinking” that “must remain unknown to every doctrine of thinking hitherto.”
This webinar is a reading seminar. Every session we will read passages selected by the seminar head from the text.

Heidegger's Country Path Conversations (5th session)
Heidegger’s Country Path Conversations:
“The Teacher Meets the Tower Warden at the Door to the Tower Stairway”
A new series of 5 Zoom webinars led by Dr. Alfred Denker.
Fifth session: The Teacher Meets the Tower Warden, 127-132
The “Country Path Conversations” were composed in the winter of 1944/45, as the Second World War was approaching its inexorable end. The date 7 April 1945 was inscribed at the end of “Ἀγχιβασίη,” and 8 May 1945 at the end of the conversation in a prisoner of war camp. The conversation between a Teacher and a Tower Warden bears no date, but it was also probably composed during this time.
With the devastation of Germany and Europe all around him, in these conversations Heidegger locates the forgottenness of being within modern thinking. A thinking which is stamped with the character of will, and which manifests itself in the rule of technology. A thinking which stands in relation to the “process of annihilation which holds the earth in its grasp.” The central themes of Heidegger’s later philosophy are present here. Yet those who, on account of the dates of these conversations, expect a word from the philosopher concerning the end of the Nazi regime, will find themselves disappointed.
The conversation between a teacher and a tower warden draws attention to astonishment and the importance of keeping an eye for the wondrous. This is contrasted with modern objective-thinking, which keeps wondering at bay in its drive to obtain everything within its grasp. The Tower Warden explains that “he who lives in the height of a tower feels the trembling of the world sooner and in further-reaching oscillations.” What is at issue here is the essence of the human with respect to the openness of beyng; an openness which should not be distorted.
Fee: 80 Euros, Patrons 60 Euros, students and those of low-income 40 Euros.

Denken und Danken in Heideggers Vorläufiges (GA 102)
Ein Wochenend-Zoom-Webinar unter der Leitung von Dr. Alfred Denker
Im letzten Band der Gesamtausgabe (102) wurden die letzten vier Schwarzen Hefte, „Vorläufiges I-IV“, sowie ein Heft „Furchen“ aufgenommen. Alle Texte sind im Zeitraum 1963-1970 verfasst worden und bieten einen Einblick in das späte Denken Heideggers. Am 10. April 1970 erlitt Heidegger in Augsburg einen Schlaganfall. Er litt zunächst an einer rechtsseitigen Lähmung sowie an Sprachstörungen. Nach ungefähr einer Woche hatte sich sein Zustand so weit verbessert, dass er sich wieder bewegen konnte. Am 25. April konnte er das Krankenhaus verlassen. Die erste Eintragung nach jener Lücke von sechs Seiten im Heft besteht aus einem Zettel, der das Datum »2. VJ. 1970 « zeigt. Die Handschrift weist nun bestimmte Veränderungen auf. Sie hat den früheren Schwung verloren, wirkt gleichsam schwerer. Die vorletzte Aufzeichnung in »Vorläufiges IV« zeigt unverkennbar Spuren des fortgeschrittenen Alters. In diesem Webinar werden wir Heideggers Gedanken über Denken und Danken verfolgen.
Gebühr: 80 Euro, 60 Euro für Patrons und 45 Euro für Studenten

A new series of 4 Zoom webinars led by Dr. Alfred Denker.
Second session: The Laying of the Ground for Metaphysics in Anthropology, 151-159
Martin Heidegger՚s Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics was published in 1929. Heidegger’s interpretation here of Kant as a metaphysician can be seen as the bridge between Being and Time and Heidegger’s so-called turn. In the final part of the lecture course Heidegger develops his metaphysics of Dasein as fundamental ontology.

Heidegger's Country Path Conversations (3rd session)
Heidegger’s Country Path Conversations:
“The Teacher Meets the Tower Warden at the Door to the Tower Stairway”
A new series of 5 Zoom webinars led by Dr. Alfred Denker.
Third session: The Teacher Meets the Tower Warden, 116-120
The “Country Path Conversations” were composed in the winter of 1944/45, as the Second World War was approaching its inexorable end. The date 7 April 1945 was inscribed at the end of “Ἀγχιβασίη,” and 8 May 1945 at the end of the conversation in a prisoner of war camp. The conversation between a Teacher and a Tower Warden bears no date, but it was also probably composed during this time.
With the devastation of Germany and Europe all around him, in these conversations Heidegger locates the forgottenness of being within modern thinking. A thinking which is stamped with the character of will, and which manifests itself in the rule of technology. A thinking which stands in relation to the “process of annihilation which holds the earth in its grasp.” The central themes of Heidegger’s later philosophy are present here. Yet those who, on account of the dates of these conversations, expect a word from the philosopher concerning the end of the Nazi regime, will find themselves disappointed.
The conversation between a teacher and a tower warden draws attention to astonishment and the importance of keeping an eye for the wondrous. This is contrasted with modern objective-thinking, which keeps wondering at bay in its drive to obtain everything within its grasp. The Tower Warden explains that “he who lives in the height of a tower feels the trembling of the world sooner and in further-reaching oscillations.” What is at issue here is the essence of the human with respect to the openness of beyng; an openness which should not be distorted.
Fee: 80 Euros, Patrons 60 Euros, students and those of low-income 40 Euros.

Heidegger: Introduction to Phenomenological Research (1st session)
Heidegger’s Lecture Series: Introduction to Phenomenological Research
A new 10 session Zoom webinar series led by Dr. Alfred Denker
First session: Introduction to phenomenological research, 1-23
In the winter semester 1923-1924, at Marburg, Heidegger held a lecture series entitled “Introduction to Phenomenological Research”. In these lectures Heidegger aims to grasp phenomenological research more originally as a phenomenology of existence. Starting with Aristotle, Heidegger traces the basic elements of phenomenological research through Descartes and Husserl, before putting forth the notion that existence is of vital importance to phenomenological research.
This webinar is a reading seminar. Every session we will read passages selected by the seminar head from the text. These selections will make the train of thought clear and focus on the most important passages in the text. Participants are invited to formulate questions and remarks that can be discussed during the sessions. They can also choose passages that they would like to discuss. The text will be provided as a PDF.

Heidegger: Hölderlin's Hymn "Remembrance" (3rd session)
Heidegger’s Lecture Series ‘Hölderlin’s Hymn “Remembrance”’
A new series of 10 Zoom webinars led by Dr. Alfred Denker.
Third session: Hölderlin’s Hymn Remembrance, 43-58
In the winter semester 1941-1942 Heidegger gave a lecture series in Freiburg on Hölderlin’s hymn “Remembrance”. In this lecture series, developing his earlier engagement with Hölderlin’s poetry in the mid 1930s, Heidegger gives a close reading of Hölderlin’s hymn in relation to the same themes of thinking and poeticising towards a retrieval of original Greek thought which occupied Heidegger in his contemporaneous works at this time.
As the lecture course explains, remembrance (in German, Andenken), is a particular kind of thinking (Denken), a “commemorative thinking” that “must remain unknown to every doctrine of thinking hitherto.”
This webinar is a reading seminar. Every session we will read passages selected by the seminar head from the text. These selections will make the train of thought clear and focus on the most important passages in the text.

Summer School: Heidegger and Early Greek Thinking
ECHS Summer School: Heidegger and Early Greek Thinking
The European Centre for Heidegger Studies presents a Zoom summer school, led by Dr. Alfred Denker.
The subject of this five day event is Heidegger’s engagement with the presocratic early Greek thinkers whom Aristotle referred to as the “Physikoi” - the thinkers of Phusis.
In particular we will be using the English collection of essays entitled Early Greek Thinking to explore Heidegger’s attempts to retrieve the early spirit of Greek thought. Early Greek Thinking contains four essays of which three will be read and discussed during this webinar:
Logos. A contribution to the Festschrift für Hans Jantzen, edited by Kurt Bauch (Berlin, 1951), pp. 7 ff.; presented as a lecture to the Bremen Club on May 4, 1951; fully discussed in an unpublished lecture course in the summer semester of 1944 entitled “Logic.”
Moira. An undelivered portion of the lecture course published as Was heißt Denken? (Tubingen: Max Niemeyer Verlag, 1954), with reference to pp. 146 ff. [Cf. What Is Called Thinking?, translated by Fred D. Wieck and J. Glenn Cray (New York: Harper & Row, 1968), pp. 240-44.]
Aletheia. A contribution to the Festschrift in honour of the 350th anniversary celebration of the Humanistic Gymnasium in Constance; first delivered in an unpublished lecture course on Heraclitus in the summer semester of 1943.
From: Martin Heidegger, Early Greek Thinking, New York, 1984.
Fee: 150 Euro, 120 Euro for Patrons, 90 Euro for Students and low-income. You can attend your first session for free. Participants can obtain a certificate of participation.

Martin Heidegger: Philosophy and Worldview (9th session)
Martin Heidegger: Philosophy and Worldview
A new series of nine Zoom webinars led by Dr. Alfred Denker.
Ninth session: The Idea of Philosophy and the Problem of World View, 81-90
Martin Heidegger՚s first lecture course after the end of the First World War during the war emergency semester 1919 is considered to be starting point of the path of thinking that would lead to Being and Time. The topic of this first lecture-course was changed from that previously announced in the register of courses. For the “war emergency semester for war veterans”, which lasted from 25 January till 16 April 1919, Heidegger had announced a two-hour course on Kant; instead, he gave a two-hour course on “The Idea of Philosophy and the Problem of Worldview”. During the webinar we will discuss and read the text of the lecture course. The text will be made available to the participants as a PDF.
Literature: Martin Heidegger, “The idea of philosophy and the problem of world view”, in: Towards the Definition of Philosophy, New York, 2008, 3-90.
Fee: 100 Euro (for entire series of 9 sessions), 80 Euro for Patrons, 50 Euro for Students and those of low-income. You can attend your first session for free. Participants can obtain a certificate of participation.
