New Books in Philosophy · Richard Polt, "Time and Trauma: Thinking Through Heidegger in the Thirties" (Rowman and Littlefield, 2020) · 4 Mar 2020 podcast

Welcome back to the New Books Network.

I'm your host, Stephen Dozman, here today with Richard Polt to discuss his recent book, Time and Trauma, Thinking Through Heidegger in the 30s.

For some time, the German philosopher Martin Heidegger has been treated with a certain level of skepticism because of his engagement with the Nazi Party, a skepticism that has resurfaced with the publication of the Black Notebooks.

private journals he kept throughout the last several decades of his life.

Diving right into the core of Heidegger's philosophy, Polt starts by taking a close look at Being and Time, published in 1927, followed by a close analysis of his philosophical developments in the 1930s.

He shows through a close textual analysis that Heidegger's political engagement stemmed from certain philosophical commitments,

The book then ends with an attempt to see what, if anything, can be salvaged from Heidegger's philosophy for political thinking.

Richard Poult is a professor of philosophy at Xavier University and is the author of, among other things, Heidegger and Introduction and The Emergency of Being on Heidegger's Contributions to Philosophy.

He is co-editor with Gregory Freed of the book series, New Heidegger Research.

And together they have translated a number of Heidegger lectures, including Introduction to Metaphysics, Nature, History, State, and Being and Truth.

So Richard Poult, welcome to the New Books Network.

So before we dive in, we like to ask our guests to kind of introduce themselves to listeners.

So could you tell us a bit about yourself and what your main interests are?

So before diving into your book in detail, we'll be looking at Heidegger's development roughly from the publication of Being and Time in 1927 to the end of World War II in 1945.

So at the beginning of this period, Heidegger was kind of a rising philosophical star, having just published this really groundbreaking new book.

And by the end, he is banned from teaching and has a severe mental breakdown.

for which an extensive recovery was needed.

So can you give us a brief summary of this time period for Heidegger just to help contextualize things for us?
