Martin Heidegger: Philosophy and Worldview

A new series of nine Zoom webinars led by Dr. Alfred Denker.

Sixth session: The Idea of Philosophy and the Problem of World View, 51-60

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.
