V Heidegger Journey takes place in August

The Heidegger Journey returns in 2016, in memory of 40 years since the death of Martin Heidegger. The event is promoted by the Philosophy department of the Center for Human Sciences, Letters and Arts at UFRN and will take place from August 17th to 19th, in Auditorium “D” at CCHLA, starting at 2 pm.
This year’s theme is “Original Love”. Although very little discussed in the vast literature on the philosopher, love appears at different moments in his work, in an occasionally laconic way, but always with great density, as it always concerns, in a few words, “letting the other be in essence from your own being”.
The event will feature the participation of professors Acylene Maria Cabral Ferreira (UFBA), Dax Moraes (UFRN), Márcia Sá Cavalcante Schuback (Södertörns Högskola, Sweden), Marco Antônio Casanova (UERJ, Brazil) and Oscar Federico Bauchwitz (UFRN).
Martin Heidegger
Martin Heidegger was a German philosopher of the existentialist current, one of the greatest philosophers of the 20th century. He was a teacher and writer, exerting a great influence on intellectuals such as Jean-Paul Sartre.
The philosopher was born in Messkirch, a small Catholic town in the state of Baden, Germany, on September 26, 1889 and died in Friborg, Germany, on May 26, 1976.
Heidegger's philosophy is based on the idea that man is a being that seeks what he is not. His life plan can be eliminated by the pressures of life and everyday life, which leads man to isolate himself from himself. Heidegger also worked on the concept of anguish, from which man transcends his difficulties or allows himself to be dominated by them. Thus, man would be an unfinished project.
Some of his most important works are: “New Inquiries about Logic” (1912), “The Problem of Reality in Modern Philosophy” (1912), “The Concept of Time in the Science of History” (1916), “What is Metaphysics?” (1929), “On the Essence of Truth” (1943), “On the Experience of Thinking” (1954), “The Way of Language” (1959) and Phenomenology and Theology” (1970).
