Free admission. Registration is required: ijs@uantwerpen.be.
Controversies around Martin Heidegger’s involvement with National Socialism have been widely discussed in the past decades. It is, however, only more recently and rarely that similarities and differences as well as the mutual impact between Heidegger and Jewish thought have been explored.
The present study day will bring together major contemporary voices to discuss the interaction between Heidegger’s philosophy and Jewish thought from a variety of perspectives.
In cooperation with the Center for European Philosophy (UAntwerp).
With the financial support of the Raad Dienstverlening and the Department of Philosophy of the University of Antwerp.
