I am not sure if we will have a live chat, but if so join live and offer your thoughts in the chat, or the comment section after posting. I am looking forward to this, and if Zach poses the kinds of questions to me with which I challenged him, I’m sure we will all see and hear clarity on the most urgent issues and resolutions of our time. Another outlet for Taboo Truth!
My previous interview OF Logos Revealed:
Just as future reference, if you ever decide to commit to reading Nietzsche and Heidegger extensively- I say Nietzsche because, it is almost essential to read N before, or at least simultaneously, to Heidegger. I won't get into H's history and involvement with the NSDAP, only to say he was a member as the Rector of the University of Freiburg from May 1933 until the end of the war, though he resigned his Rectorship after about a year, and stopped attending party meetings.
Like most postwar "establishment" literature and information on members of the NSDAP, the info on and about Heidegger's involvement are specifically designed to ridicule, smear, and dismiss. The challenge for the largest percentage of historians is, penetrating to the core and essence of Heidegger's thinking to see where and how it aligns with, or goes against what the NSDAP was aiming to accomplish. To this day, even academic "philosophers" are left "toiling in the rear" when trying to decode Heidegger's cryptic and shrouded thinking behind his abstruse and esoteric language, to see if he was a "full-blown Nazi," or whether his interests in the Party were temporary, short-lived, and experimental.
Anyhow, most of Heidegger's "books" are simply publications of the seminars he taught from the 20's until the mid-60's. Like all Party members, he was subjected to the whole humiliation of the "de-Nazification" process, and was banned from teaching from 1945 until 1951.
In his seminars, articles, books, and extensive correspondences with colleagues, Heidegger dealt extensively with the Greek notion of "Logos." The origins of "Logos" are derived from Heraclitus, the estimated scant fragments of which remain to us number around 140. Many of these are of dubious authenticity and open to wide interpretation.
Two seminars in which Heidegger delves at length into Heraclitus and the idea of Logos are 1943's Summer semester 'The Inception of Occidental Thinking: Heraclitus' and 1944's Summer semester 'Logic: Heraclitus's Doctrine of the Logos.' Both of these seminars are published as a book titled 'Heraclitus' translated by Julia Goesser Assainte and S. Montgomery Ewegen linked below.
These are very important seminars in Heidegger's thinking. He does not deal with Logos from a theological perspective, as does E. Michael Jones. These Heraclitus engagements predate any theological conceptions anyway. As the title of the seminar indicates, this is dealing with the primordial(of first order)and "inceptual" origins of Western thought. Just keep these in mind if you ever should commit down the road to an engagement with Heidegger's thought!
