About this video

Runtime: 26 mins

In part one, George Pattison discusses Heidegger, born in the 1880s, who was a key figure in modern philosophy and theology. Initially studying Catholic philosophy, he shifted to mathematics and philosophy, earning his doctoral thesis in 1913 and habilitation in 1915. He became an assistant to Edmund Husserl, co-founding phenomenology, and later taught at Marburg, where he collaborated with Rudolf Bultmann. Heidegger's seminal work, Being and Time, published in 1927, established him as a major philosopher. However, his association with the Nazi Party in 1933 tarnished his reputation. Post-WWII, he was banned from teaching but continued to lecture. He died in 1976, leaving a complex legacy intertwined with his philosophical inquiries and controversial political affiliations.
