In recent years a number of authors have engaged with Heidegger’s philosophy by placing it in the context of a broader, ongoing discussion concerning the nature of reasons (for judgement and for action) and the fundamental sources of normativity and rationality. In this workshop we focus on two texts by Heidegger that are particularly apt for bringing his thinking in contact with such ongoing discussions. The purpose of the workshop is to engage in detailed discussion of the issues at stake in these texts through a close reading of them. The contemporary debates will serve as a background for our discussion but our main focus will be on a critical engagement with the analyses, arguments and concepts present in the texts under scrutiny.

The two presenters
　Dr. Wenjing Cai, Lecturer at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, School of Philosophy, Philosophy.
　Dr. Morten S. Thaning, Associate Professor at Copenhagen Business School, Department of Management, Politics and Philosophy.
