Heidegger’s Black Notebooks: A Conference – Film Screening & Discussion

The two-day conference Heidegger’s Black Notebooks (September 11 & 12, 2014) focused on the philosopher’s late and unambiguously pro-Nazi writings, which may very well represent a point of no return for Heidegger scholarship. Here is the panel discussion following a screening of Only a God Can Save Us—a documentary on Heidegger’s philosophy and his relationship to Nazism. Panelists included Richard Wolin of the Graduate Center; Jeffrey Van Davis, director of the film; Emmanuel Faye, University of Rouen; Karsten Harries, Yale University; and Thomas Sheehan, Stanford University.
