Heidegger’s Black Notebooks: Philosophy, Politics, Anti-Semitism

Conference is free and open to the public.

Please join us for a conference devoted to Heidegger’s recently published Black Notebooks. These notebooks contain Heidegger’s private political ruminations from the years 1931-1944, including his conception of National Socialism; they also evince a strain of anti-Semitism in his thinking hitherto unknown. The Emory conference features the editor of the notebooks, Peter Trawny, along with an interdisciplinary group of scholars to explore these issues along with broader concerns such as the relation of philosophy to politics, the role of the intellectual in society, the problem of modernity, and the tension between the public and the private.

The conference will be held at the Emory Conference Center. Rooms can be reserved at the Emory Conference Center Hotel, online at: https://resweb.passkey.com/go/HBN, or by calling (800) 933-6679, mention “Heidegger’s Black Notebooks” for our discounted rate.
