Greetings all! We will meet on a bi-weekly schedule to read Martin Heidegger's "Heraclitus." We will be reading the two lecture courses Heidegger gave in the summers of 1943 and 1944, entitled "The inception of Occidental Thinking" and "Logic: Heraclitus' Doctrine of the Logos." At the bottom you can find an amazon link and a Z-library link.
We will start with "The Inception of Occidental Thinking." Meetings will be done virtually over Zoom.

Here's the Reading Schedule
"Inception of Occidental Thinking"
Session 1: Preliminary Concerns, S. 1-2
Session 2: S. 3-4
Session 3: S. 5-6
Session 4: S. 7-8

This meetup is a continuation of a live-read group that went through Heraclitus' Fragments. While not necessary at all for the group, it will be a good idea to have some familiarity with Heraclitus' thought. I will moderate the sessions.

Here's how I moderate:
I ask that people use the raise your hand feature prior to speaking. If you've spoken several times already, I will call others who haven't spoken yet or as much. Please refrain from giving lectures - this is a discussion group. I will cut you off if you are going on too long, simply because it begins to become very difficult to follow everything you have said. Also, please refrain from bringing up other works or philosophers for discussion - a brief comment or comparison is fine, but the idea is to focus on Heidegger's thoughts on Heraclitus.

Hope to see you there for the first session!
