Session 6 PART III                            

Publications on Selected Themes II (C)

Martin Heidegger 174-201                           

Why in the World Not? aims to make Daseinanalysis accessible to the English-speaking reader while retaining cross-references to the original texts, many of which were written in German. The author does not assume prior familiarity with Daseinanalysis, a modality of psychotherapy based on Martin Heidegger's analysis of existence. His purpose is to fill the existing gap in knowledge of the historical and theoretical origins of the modality, its principles of practice, and curricula for the preparation of practitioners. This book is a response to the renaissance of interest in daseinanalysis during the last five years, especially the formation of the American Daseinsanalystic Institute, which takes its place among other institutes around the world. It will be of interest to graduate or post-graduate clinical psychologists and psychotherapists. It will also be an important text for readers familiar with Heidegger but perhaps not aware of his impact on psychiatry and psychotherapy. The volume includes an exhaustive review of the publications of Medard Boss which are, in effect, the written history of the genesis and development of Daseinanalysis.

Dates: January 16, and 23, and February 6, 13, 20, and 27, 2025

Place: Zoom – Time: 19.00 – 21.00 (CET)

 Participation fee: 90 Euro, Patrons 75 Euro, Students 45 Euro

It is possible to obtain a certificate of participation and attend the first session for free.

 Participants are invited to obtain a copy of the book and read the texts before the sessions.

“The lecture was delivered on June 9, I938 under the title ‘The Founding of the Modern World Picture by Metaphysics’. It was the last of a series of lectures on the foundations of the world picture of modernity, organized by the art-historical, scientific, and medical societies of Freiburg. The Appendices were written at the same time but not delivered.”

- Martin Heidegger -

This lecture offers insight into Heidegger’s thinking in the late 1930’s and deals with topics that he will focus on in his work in the 1950’s like the famous lecture on the question concerning technology. We will read and discuss the text together while also paying attention to the context of this lecture on Heidegger’s way of thinking.

The lecture ‘On Time and Being’ was given on January 31, 1962 in the Studium Generale at the University of Freiburg i. Br., which was directed by Eugen Fink. The title ‘Time and Being’ marks the third section of the first part of the book Being and Time (1927) on p. 39. At that time, the author was not able to adequately develop the topic mentioned in the title ‘Time and Being’. The publication of Being and Time was stopped at this point. What the text of the lecture, written three and a half decades later, contains can no longer be linked to the text of Being and Time. The leading question has remained the same, but that only means that the question has become even more questionable and even more alien to the spirit of the times. The sections in brackets in the text were written at the same time as the lecture text but were not presented."
