Objectives (Doelstelling)

The knowledge of the fundamental issues of the philosophy of religion in Heidegger's Philosophy

 

Contents (Beschrijving)

In various texts, Martin Heidegger speaks of god and the gods, but the question of how exactly Heidegger's thought relates to theology and religion in a broad sense remains unclear and in need of careful philosophical excavation. In this master course we trace Heidegger's relation to the philosophy of religion. It involves topics such as Heidegger's interpretation of Saint Paul and Augustine, Nietzsche and the death of God, ontotheology, and Heidegger's discussion of the 'last god', taking into account the early, midst and later texts of Heidegger.
