There’s an ancient debate over the relevance of Heidegger’s politics, or supposed lack thereof. Hundreds of thousands of hours of video commentary and academic conferences have been spent over the question of whether his “pure ontology” is or is not in fact inherently reactionary. At this point we now know the answer. The more important question is why the fuck we’re going to keep reading him anyway.

A lecture in preparation for tackling Being and Time. Two years prior to writing Being and Time, Heidegger lays out the field of phenomenology: It's major figures, discoveries, defense, and critique.Before he was pressured to write his Being and Time prematurely, Heidegger was thinking through his imminent critique of phenomenology in a lecture series called History of the Concept of Time. This is the most lucid introduction to his magnum opus Being and Time. David McKerracher gives a lecture on the Introduction and Chapter 1 of History of the Concept of Time. Do the reading ahead of time if you want to get the most out of this, but if you don't, no worries! Nick Castellucci will be there to interview Dave, to try to force clarifications with busy multitasking workers and gamers in mind. If you get a lot out of this, or want access to the Q&A at the end, then enroll in Being and Time course today: https://theory-underground.com/courses/B&T/ We will do Division One from June 3rd to July 22nd, and Division Two from August 19th until the end of October.ABOUT / CREDITS / LINKSIf you want to better understand yourself and the world by asking the hardest questions, wrestling with the most complex problems, and reading the greatest thinkers in the history of philosophy and theory, then welcome.
