Lecture "Heidegger and Nonconceptual Language as Saying"

Phenomenology Research Centre, Faculty of Humanities, Charles Universtiy in Prague invites you to a lecture "Heidegger and Nonconceptual Language as Saying" by Kenneth Maly (University of Wisconsin-La Crosse).

Lecture summary:

Still today, after many years of reading Heidegger on what is ownmost to language as saying/showing – thus moving outside the realm of language as understood in linguistics, representational language, communication or language as symbolic – Heidegger scholarship has barely understood what language as saying/showing says. Heidegger says nonconceptually the core of all saying/showing with the words “Das Wesen der Sprache: Die Sprache des Wesens.“ “Outside of concepts“ means outside of the dualistic being-beings and objectifying subjectivity of traditional metaphysics. How can language make this shift? We will try to show this by focusing on the way that Heidegger says/thinks the three examples in the first lecture.
