The Origin of the Work of Art by Martin Heidegger

Part IV: The Origin of the Work of Art, from Basic Writings by Martin Heidegger

Continuing our selections from Basic Writings by Martin Heidegger, this week we have Part IV: The Origin of the Work of Art.

For Heidegger, a work of art opens a space for us to experience the true unconcealed being of the things around us - where all artwork & all thinking are ways of our participating in the creative strife of the world. We'll try to figure out what he means.

Who are we?
We're a reading group that welcomes all - young, old, completely new to philosophy or well versed, from keen students to those who've never darkened the door of a lecture room. We read both long & short texts - but you don't need to have been coming from the start of our longer reads. You can dive in at any point along the way.

We usually head to the pub to continue the conversation after our meetings.
