Lecture "Heidegger and Nondualistic Thinking, Nondual Phenomenon"

Phenomenology Research Centre, Faculty of Humanities, Charles Universtiy in Prague invites you to a lecture "Heidegger and Nondualistic Thinking, Nondual Phenomenon" by Kenneth Maly (University of Wisconsin-La Crosse).

Lecture summary:

Already in Sein und Zeit (1927) Heidegger undermined the dualism of subject-object thinking. In Beiträge zur Philosophie (Vom Ereignis) (1936-38) he brings the non-dual – asdas Zudenkende – to a richness that we can barely taste. In this lecture I will undertake to describe the overall move from the dualistic thinking/being of traditional metaphysics to Heidegger’s nondualistic thinking. I will take three examples: The clear and resolute way that the thinking of Da-sein undermines the dualistic distinction of subject-object and begins to think how being and Da-sein are to be thought nondualistically; how the thinking of Ereignis in Beiträge thinks nondualistically being-Dasein, a thinking that began in Sein und Zeit; and a brief but careful reading of Heidegger on Heraclitus, Fragment B16.
