Heidegger's Critique of German Idealism (TBD Winter 2026)
Course Description: Martin Heidegger claimed that the entire western philosophical tradition reached its ‘culmination’ in the philosophy of German Idealism. In this course we will take this diagnosis seriously, work to understand its presuppositions and implications, and attempt to assess its cogency. We will read closely Heidegger’s major works on Kant, as well as his central writings on Kant’s immediate successors. In addition to supplementary readings from Kant, Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel, we may also read excerpts from Aristotle, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Christian Wolff, and Alexander Baumgarten.
