PHI 615 Heidegger, Poetry, & the Question of Metaphysics
This course examines Heidegger’s understanding of the cognitive relationship between the human person and the world, knower and known. Heidegger’s emphasis on poetry in relation to Sein is placed in fundamental tension with the metaphysical accounting of the deity. Special reference is also given to Kant and Nietzsche, Holderlin, and Rilke.
