Heidegger: La Questione dell'Essere e la Storia (Corso dell'ENS-ULM 1964-1965)

In the early 1960s, Heidegger's works were not yet fully appreciated in France, creating a fertile ground for philosophical exploration. Jacques Derrida delves into this intriguing period during his course at ENS-ULM, where he unpacks the complexities of Heidegger's thought on Being and history. The seminars encapsulate a vibrant dialogue focused on the fundamental questions regarding existence that resonate through Heidegger's writings.

Derrida's approach is both critical and illuminative, inviting readers to understand not just the nuances of Heidegger's philosophy, but also its implications within the context of historical and contemporary thought. The course reflects an evolving intellectual landscape where the importance of Being is reevaluated. As Derrida articulates these profound concepts, he skillfully intertwines philosophical rigor with accessible dialogue, encouraging a reengagement with Heidegger's legacy that continues to influence philosophical inquiry today.
