Indiana University Press has just released a translation of Heidegger’s Basic Concepts of Aristotelian Philosophy, translated by Robert Metcalf and Mark Tanzer.
“With a deep sensitivity to the nuances of Heidegger’s German, this translation retains a liveliness and readability that captures something of the urgency and creativity of Heidegger’s original presentation.”
—Christopher P. Long, Pennsylvania State University
Volume 18 of Martin Heidegger’s collected works presents his important 1924 Marburg lectures which anticipate much of the revolutionary thinking that he subsequently articulated in Being and Time. Available in English for the first time, they make a significant contribution to ancient philosophy, Aristotle studies, Continental philosophy, and phenomenology.

2009 Banquet
Many thanks to all who attended, supported and participated in the 2009 Ancient Philosophy Society conference at Loyola College in Maryland.
Gary Scott and his wife Hilde were very generous hosts and we had a very productive and inspiring conference.
As we begin to turn our attention to our 10th Annual Conference to be held at Michigan State, April 22nd to the 25th, 2010, I thought it important to pause to reflect upon the wonderful community of scholars we have actively participating in the Society.
Once again this year, I found myself grateful for the spirit of dedicated philosophical dialogue and friendship that animated our gathering.
The Excutive Committee thanks all who participated this year and who continue to support the Society. We look forward to our SPEP session on October 29th at the Marriot Key Bridge Hotel in Arlington, Virginia and then, of course, to our 10th Annual Independent Meeting at Michigan State.
At Saturday’s business meeting of the Ancient Philosophy Society, the Society elected Sean Kirkland, DePaul University, as the next co-director of the Society, joining current co-director, Martha Woodruff, Middlebury College, and replacing me, Christopher Long, The Pennsylvania State University, outgoing co-director of the Society. I will remain on the executive committee, however, having been elected Treasurer. In this capacity I will continue to serve as webmaster of the APS blog here.
The Society also elected Rob Metcalf, University of Denver at Colorado, as the incoming at-large member of the Executive Committee, joining current at-large member of the Society, Sara Brill, Fairfield University.
We are currently enjoying a wonderful conference here at Loyola College in Maryland, where we have been generously hosted by Gary Scott and his wife Hilde.
For those of you attending this week’s 9th Annual Conference hosted by Loyola College in Maryland, I thought it would be nice to link to some of the resources we have posted here related to the logistics of the conference:

We look forward to another excellent gathering this year.
Indiana University Press has just released a paperback copy of Heidegger’s Phenomenological Interpretations of Aristotle: Initiation into Phenomenological Research, translated by Richard Rojcewicz.
“This book is an indispensable resource for the study of Heidegger’s thought because it provides a very early articulation of concepts that are central to Heidegger’s philosophy, such as care, facticity, nothingness, and temporality.” —Robert Metcalf, University of Colorado, Denver
Phenomenological Interpretations of Aristotle is the text of a lecture course presented at the University of Freiburg in the winter of 1921–1922. In this course, Heidegger first takes up the role of the definition of philosophy and then elaborates a unique analysis of “factical life,” or human life as it is lived concretely in relation to the world, a relation he calls “caring.” As he works out a phenomenology of factical life, Heidegger lays the groundwork for a phenomenological interpretation of Aristotle, whose influence on Heidegger’s philosophy was pivotal.
