Heidegger’s Lecture Series: Introduction to Phenomenological Research

A new 10 session Zoom webinar series led by Dr. Alfred Denker

Second session: Introduction to phenomenological research, 24-46

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.
