Reasons without Reason: Anti-rationalism in Heidegger’s Being and Time

Reasons without Reason: Anti-rationalism in Heidegger’s Being and Time

Typescript of a lecture delivered on June 29, 2016 by Lee Goldsmith as part of the Graduate Institute Summer Lecture Series.

Mr. Goldsmith is an instructor of philosophy at George Washington University. His talk is about the issue of reason and the criticism of reason in the thought of Martin Heidegger. Mr. Goldsmith particularly examines Heidegger's work Being and Time and illucidates the critique of Reason writ large and the larger "struggle" within Heideggerean theory. His talk concludes with a potential grounding for optimism about a project of critical reason coming out of Heideggeran "reasons" rather than Reason itself.

Mr. Goldsmith earned his Ph.D. from Northwestern University and his B.A. from St. John's College Annapolis.
