About the series
With an eye to the 2027 centenary of its publication, this series of workshops will retrace Heidegger’s steps towards the writing of ‘Being and Time’, each workshop marking the centenary of key studies through which his thought progressed. The organisers will track how, in the years following his return to teaching after World War One, Heidegger wrestled with, and questioned, the phenomenological outlook of his mentor, Husserl; he drew on themes in St Paul, St Augustine, Plato and Aristotle, repeatedly revisiting the latter; as time became a more prominent concern, he turned to the work of Dilthey, and then to Kant, an increasingly influential presence in Heidegger’s thought as he began to draft ‘Being and Time’ itself. The up-coming centenary offers the ideal opportunity to work systematically through this challenging but very rich material, setting ‘Being and Time’ in its true historical context and making possible a re-examination of the book’s philosophical motivation and a fresh evaluation of its importance. The series has been generously supported by a grant from the British Academy and the Leverhulme Trust.
