The primary readings for this seminar will be three key essays by Martin Heidegger. These are all relatively short, but are quite dense and rich, so you will likely need to go back over what you're reading multiple times. You may want to take notes as you are working through the texts' sections.

As your instructor for the class, I will be generally referencing the David Krell translation (which will be provided free here in pdf form), found in his edition of Heidegger's Basic Writings. I will also be referencing and explaining the original German texts as well. You are of course free to read and consult whatever translations you would like.

You likely will want to read through the three essays as a whole before we meet for our 1-day seminar. That might give you some sense of where Heidegger is going with the works as wholes. You'll also notice how the different sections, and the arguments, distinctions, and ideas worked out in them, intersect with and build upon each other
