What
Is Phenomenology?
An
attempt a non-trivial introductory course
Lecture
one – the background from Lambert to Hegel
Lecture
two – Husserl
Lecture
three-Heidegger
supplement
to lecture three on Heidegger & National Socialism
Note:
this lecture was recorded before I had read Heidegger's Black
Notebooks and
E. Faye's book.
In light of these new works, I will soon record a
second supplementry lecture. In the meantime, Hannah
Arendt's
Heidegger
the Fox is
crucial reading for approaching the most important questions, such
as:
"Of what was Heidegger himself a phenomenon? And what
does the Heidegger phenomenon show us
about philosophy, about
academia, about the politics of race and gender, and about
antisemitism and
nazism? (Jean-Paul Sartre's Anti-Semite
and Jew is worth a re-read with these questions in mind)
Lecture
four – Levinas
new
addition – the lost
Levinas lecture
(recovered
from .chk files retrieved from the damaged SD card)
