PHIL 19.02 Transcendental Philosophy in Husserl and Heidegger
Transcendental philosophy seeks to uncover conditions for the possibility of experience. This course will study the ways in which Husserl and Heidegger develop and refine Kant’s transcendental project in the course of their phenomenological investigations, in part by broadening the range of human experience that is subject to philosophical scrutiny. Time will be one focus of the course, as we seek to reconstruct Heidegger’s claim that different conceptions of time yield different understandings of what it is to be.
Prerequisite
