UTCP Lecture by Professor Richard Askay
“Why 'Nothing Matters' in Heidegger's Zollikon Seminars?”

Lecturer
Prof. Richard Askay (Professor of Philosophy, The University of Portland, Oregon, USA.)

From 1959-1969 Heidegger offered some seminars in Zollikon, Switzerland on how his philosophy could serve as the most appropriate philosophical foundation for psychology and related disciplines. One of their major outcomes was the development of what has come to be called 'Daseinsanalysis.' It has become the most dominant psychoanalytic approach throughout the world. In this lecture I will discuss: a) the historical context of Heidegger's Zollikon Seminars; b) why they are so important for the psychological disciplines; c) the pivotal role of Heidegger's concept of 'the nothing' in them; and d) the role of the concept of bodily being in Heidegger's Zollikon Seminars.
