DESCRIPTION:<p>St Mary&rsquo\;s University\, Philosophy Department</p>\n<p>Royal Institute of Philosophy Public Lecture</p>\n\n<p>Dr Roxana Baiasu</p>\n<p>Associate Member of the Faculty of Philosophy\, Oxford University\, and Birmingham University</p>\n\n<p>Failures of Understanding</p>\n\n<p>Thursday 4th December 2014 5.15-6.45pm\,&nbsp\;followed by a drinks reception</p>\n<p>Senior Common Room\, St Mary&rsquo\;s University\, Twickenham</p>\n\n<p>Abstract</p>\n<p>This lecture is concerned with certain puzzles to which Heidegger&rsquo\;s approach to speech phenomena in&nbsp\;<em>Being and Time&nbsp\;</em>gives rise. More specifically\, the discussion focuses on a central claim of Heidegger\, the claim that understanding and speech are equally basic and mutually dependent in the constitution of our making sense of what there is. I argue that Heidegger cannot consistently establish this claim. The inquiry also shows something very significant about the finitude of understanding. There are two main parts or sides of the argument: a phenomenological discussion of listening to one another in a speech context\, and a conceptual investigation concerning the relationship between understanding and speech.</p>\n\n<p>About the Speaker</p>\n<p>Roxana Baiasu is Associate Member of the Philosophy Faculty\, Oxford University\, Visiting Lecturer and Teaching Fellow at Birmingham University.
