Veranstaltungsname:
Heidegger on art and technology I
Veranstaltungsbeschreibung:
Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) is undoubtedly one of those unavoidable but controversial figures, who divides the public and places us in the difficult situation of not knowing how to position ourselves or what to do about it. On the one hand, there is broad consensus that he is one of the most important and influential philosophers of the 20th century -for many, the most important and, perhaps, the last of the great "titans" of Western philosophy; on the other hand, his name has been obscured by the relationship we know he maintained with the German National Socialist Party, as well as by the question of to what extent his philosophy is determined by the ideology of the Third Reich.
This seminar is intended as pertaining to a two-semester endeavour, in which a critical revision of the Heideggerian conception of art and technology can be undertaken. In order to carry out this idea, we will first address Heidegger's more general conception of art, and then, in the light of what should be previously understood, we will concentrate on his conception of modern technology. Thus, in this seminar we will focus on the famous essay "The Origin of the Work of Art", trying to perform a critical and detailed reading of it, as far as possible line by line. We will, of course, try to gain an in-depth understanding of Heidegger's conception of art as the “setting-towork of truth” and the complex relations between being, truth and art; moreover, we will also try to stimulate and strengthen our ability to think philosophically by our own account, since, for many, Heidegger's great merit lies not so much in the content of his ideas, but in the way in which the philosopher sets out a way of developing philosophical thinking. Finally, we will raise the question of whether it still makes sense to consider Heidegger’s conception of art seriously in the light of the ethical controversies that have surrounded his figure and philosophy, but avoiding doing so from mere prejudice; rather, we will take the path of re-reading his work, so that we can have the elements that will allow us to develop this question in a more honest and serious way. The syllabus with a detailed bibliography will be provided in the first session.
