All of a Sudden

Abstract

N.B. Since the publication of this paper, Heidegger's notes for the winter semester 1930-31 seminar on Plato's Parmenides have been published in Gesamtausgabe, vol. 83: Seminare: Platon-Aristoteles-Augustinus, ed. Mark Michalski (Frankfurt am Main: Klostermann, 2012), 23-37. However, the Gesamtausgabe edition does not incorporate the transcript of seminar notes in the Herbert Marcuse Archive discussed in this paper, and does not even mention its existence; the editor even conjectures that the announced continuation of the seminar in the summer semester of 1931, documented in the transcript, did not take place (see Mark Michalski, editor's epilogue, GA 83, 667-68). Apparently, no authorized student protocol of the seminar was made, probably due to the unofficial and "private" character of the seminar.]

This Strange Creature: Plato and Conversion Experiences

“…30 More recent scholarship on the pivotal role of ἐξαίϕνης in Plato's works include (McGinley 2009;Gordon 2010;Rangos 2014;Cimakasky 2017). Some scholars, e.g., (McNeill 1999;Backman 2007), examine Plato's use of ἐξαίϕνης as a prelude for interpretations of similar concepts such as Martin Heidegger's "moment of vision".…”
