SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We have decided to try a different tack into the philosophy of Martin Heidegger and examine his idea of phenomenology. He disagreed with Edmund Husserl\, the person who is most credited with establishing phenomenology as a modern discipline. We will try to take a look at exactly what Heidegger’s disagreements were and what it means for coming to understand his concept of Being. \nOur principal source will be Heidegger’s The Basic Problems of Phenomenology (1975)\, a series of lectures he gave in 1927\, shortly after the publication of his Being and Time. \nYou do not have to purchase the book\, however (unless you really want to)\, since we are only going to discuss the Introduction\, which can be found online. The URL for this is listed at the end of this announcement along with some other sources for phenomenology in general. While the only required reading for this meeting is the Introduction\, it is suggested that you spend some time with one or more of the other sources to understand how Heidegger’s existential phenomenology differed from that of Husserl and others. His approach is also refered to as hermeneutical phenomenology\, so any examination of hermeneutics may also be useful. \nThis exercise has the advantage that when people ask you what you are up to\, you can tell them that you are studying the Heideggerian hermeneutical approach to existential phenomenology. They’ll probably leave you alone after that. \nIntroduction\, The Basic Problems of Phenomenology by Martin Heidegger \nhttps://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/ge/heidegge.htm \nAn outline of The Basic Problems of Phenomenology (appears to be of only a part of the book) \nhttps://www.academia.edu/4009954/Outline_of_Martin_Heidegger_The_Basic_Problems_of_Phenomenology \nSEP article on Phenomenology \nhttps://plato.stanford.edu/entries/phenomenology/#Bib \nIEP article on Phenomenology \nhttps://www.iep.utm.edu/phenom/ \nWikipedia article on Phenomenology \nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenomenology_(philosophy) \nWikipedia article on hermeneutics \nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermeneutics \n2007 lectures on Heidegger by Hubert Dreyfus (thanks to Cathy for telling us about this) \nPhenomenology looks like it is covered in the first few of the 28 lectures \nhttps://archive.org/details/Philosophy_185_Fall_2007_UC_Berkeley/Philosophy_185_Fall_2007_UC_Berkeley_Lecture_01_Phil_185-Lecture_1_20422.mp3 \nIt is also at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaIWz_87Kz0 \nHandouts for the Dreyfus 2007 lectures \nhttps://web.archive.org/web/20170911095625/http://socrates.berkeley.edu:80/~hdreyfus/185_f07/html/HandOuts.html \nLater lectures on Heidegger by Hubert Dreyfus (probably from the same class in 2011) \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywuNea7-1Q8 \n

SUMMARY:History Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We are continuing through our list of member-voted books by reading the Pulitzer Prize-winning book\, John Adams (2001) by David McCullough\, starting with Part I. This book can be had for around $18 in paperback and $15 as an ebook. However\, since this is a prize-winning book by a popular author and has been around for a while\, used copies are numerous and cheap. \nThose of us who have also been around for a while\, and those who haven’t been around for quite so long\, and those who haven’t been around very long at all\, and the numerous of us who are also cheap: we hope to see you all on the 18th.

SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We are going to be returning to Being and Time by Martin Heidegger. We will read the first three chapters of Division I of Part I\, (through “The Worldhood of the World”). \nThis is up to page 149 in the Macquarrie and Robinson translation\, the “standard” English translation which\, once again\, can be found for free online (http://pdf-objects.com/files/Heidegger-Martin-Being-and-Time-trans.-Macquarrie-Robinson-Blackwell-1962.pdf). Used copies are also plentiful. This is asking a lot. It is 80 pages of difficult reading. Do the best you can. Regardless\, we are expecting a phenomenal discussion.

SUMMARY:The Writing Life
DESCRIPTION:As someone who has been an active writer for more than half a century\, I have benefited from the prestige and authority conferred on the general culture by the invention of the printing press.  Since that time books have had a short 500-year run\, and a mixed success\, as cultural influences.  While the book’s influence seems to be in decline since the advent of the digital age\, we ironically have more books being published today than at any other time in history.  What roles do contemporary writers now fulfill\, and how should a “serious” writer define this role?  I hope to address these issues from my own personal experiences as writer and editor\, in the hope that my example is at once typical in some basic ways and therefore instructive. \nEmilio DeGrazia\, a long-time resident of Winona\, Minnesota\, taught at Winona State University from 1969 to 2002\, and continues to write and edit from his home there.  He founded Great River Review in 1977\, and it currently is the official literary journal for the creative writing students at the University of Minnesota.  He has had a long and varied history as a writer.  A first collection of short fiction\, Enemy Country (New Rivers Press)\, was selected by Anne Tyler for a Writer’s Choice Award\, and a novel\, Billy Brazil (New Rivers Press)\, was chosen for a Minnesota Voices award. A second story collection\, Seventeen Grams of Soul\, received a Minnesota Book Award in 1995\, and a second novel\, A Canticle for Bread and Stones\, appeared in 1996.  In the past few years DeGrazia published Burying the Tree\, his first collection of essays\, a memoir (of sorts) called Walking on Air in a Field of Greens\, Seasonings\, a first collection of poetry\, and Eye Shadow\, creative non-fiction.  He also has had two plays produced and has served two terms as Winona’s Poet Laureate.
