Martin Heidegger is one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century, and his thought has played a significant role in the formation of phenomenology, hermeneutics, existential philosophy, and many contemporary philosophical currents. This conversation, on the occasion of his birthday, is an opportunity to revisit Heidegger's importance and the difficulties of understanding his language and intellectual apparatus.
Siavash Jamadi, the translator of "Being and Time" and the author of works on phenomenology and contemporary philosophy, speaks in this program about Heidegger's place in modern thought, the relationship between Being, the human being, truth, and language, and the path of Persian speakers' encounter with his philosophy. The conversation also addresses the role of translation, interpretation, and education in the transmission of complex philosophical ideas.
This program is important for those interested in contemporary philosophy, Heidegger, phenomenology, hermeneutics, and philosophical translation; because, through the words of one of the most important Persian-speaking translators and commentators in this field, it offers a clearer picture of the difficulties and potentials of Heidegger's thought.
