Speaker: Emre Şan
In the fifth seminar of the series, focused on the issue of difference, we will be attempting a reading of the dialogue that Sartre had established between Husserl and Heidegger. The venture in question will enable us to consider the relationship between existence and freedom set forth in Being and Nothingness.
