Howdy folks! Welcome back! Let's continue on our B&T discussions, starting right off with Division 2! New members of course welcome! Make sure you find a way to go through Division 1 first though! Richard Sembera has an incredibly readable book on B&T, called "Rephrasing Heidegger," I recommend it highly! If you are interested in joining the lively Slack group for this Meetup, send a message to me! Hope to see you there for the first session back!

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 in B&T!

There are 2 translations I am familiar with: the Macquarrie and Robinson, and the Stambaugh. Discrepancies in the translations can be quite interesting.
