Notes

to-process

• If somebody asked me how to read Heidegger’s ‘Being and Time’ in English I would suggest the following in this order: Pre-reading: Dreyfus— ‘Being-in-the-World: A Commentary on Heidegger’s “Being and Time,” Division 1’ to prepare the road ahead and to excite the mind (but beware… Dreyfus now thinks he got about 25% wrong) (after reading this listen to the podcast of Dreyfus in 2007 at archive dot org) Wrathall— ‘How to Read Heidegger’ to concentrate on key passages and to provide clarity Blattner — ‘Heidegger’s ‘Being and Time’: A Reader’s Guide’ Blattner— ‘Heidegger’s Temporal Idealism’ to expand, and correct (!) Heidegger’s mistakes on Heidegger (… says Dreyfus) Concurrent reading (not occurent… [sorry, a Dreydeggerian joke]): Gelven— ‘A commentary on Heidegger’s Being and Time’, simultaneously with the M & R translation of Heidegger’s ‘Being and time’ to develop a Sartrean view and also… Tietz— ‘Martin Heidegger’s Being and Time’ for a Dreyfus-like dissection. Post-processing: Schurmann— ‘Heidegger on Being and Acting’ for a radical re-interpretation—Updated on 2024-09-28 14:35:30
• Prereading: Husserl, The Idea of Phenomenology — Short work that gives the general method of Husserl’s phenomenology Heidegger, Being and Time — Merleau-Ponty, like Sartre, was heavily influenced Heidegger’s important work. Which leads me to: Sartre, Being and Nothingness — Merleau-Ponty does mark a division between where his philosophy differs from Sartre’s (namely, Sartre, according to Merleau-Ponty, still has somewhat of a Cartesian cogito that needs to be gotten rid of). Merleau-Ponty also draws a different distinction between the body-subject and being-for-itself/being-in-itself. He attacks Sartre’s difference between the two. Merleau-Ponty, Structure of Behavior — Merleau-Ponty’s other work that came out before the Phenomenology. I would say it’s optional for a good understanding of Phenomenology, but useful if you want a fuller understanding of Merleau-Ponty’s project as a whole. Concurrent Reading: Marshall, A Guide to Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology of Perception — Honestly, I haven’t read this, but my friend has and recommends it all the time. I can’t comment further, but it might be helpful.—Updated on 2024-09-28 14:35:37
