 * __Notes from 9/30__**

__Group Discussion of the Dissertations__

Deb said: Chapter 1 is the turning toward the phenomenon - subsections include being called to the question, my entering the question, coming to the phenomenon, my history with the phenomenology. The writer said that School Reform is a human endeavor and therefore the human sciences must be used to study School Reform. (We discuss this as a lame-ish reason to give for using Phenomenology. What is not a human endeavor in schools?) Becoming the phenomenon, metaphor of a map –looking for a map for school reform. These are some themes they will bring out. Change - orientation to the journey. Deb described the Dissertation she has been looking at.

Sarah said: Chapter 1 has a turning, first and second and person used on the very first page. The author addresses the reader and outlines each chapter. There are structural road maps through the chapter. Parenthetical references and footnotes, questions about those- are footnotes that are blanket references the norm? The author uses excerpts from her own journal. The author describes coming to the topic through her own journal entries. She defines the critical terminologies she will use. They are defined as a sort of map as what will come up. She puts the question in bold. She provides many markers for the reader to follow. Sarah said the dissertation she is studying uses a lot of literature

Steve said: Turning to the phenomenon of teaching personal writing. Describes the students and describes their writing as a mirror to the writer. The author describes the nature of teenagers. Etymological tracings are from Barnhart. The chapter headings are the heart of the matter, hearing the beat, phenomenological flow. The discussion of writing as phenomenological inquiry in the dissertation. DRUM is only from 2003. A lot of Van Manen in the dissertation. Everyone is happy about that. Heart songs and Blood Flow, explication of the six research components. We talk about Parker Palmer and discuss what we know and look up stuff on Parker Palmer on the internet.

Maggie said: about the dissertation she read. I wonder if the writer's have a practical reason for choosing the philosophers over Van Manen? Are dissertations that use the philosophers more geared to theoretical pursuits/jobs and are the ones that use Van Manen more geared to practical educational pursuits/jobs?

Then we discussed Heidegger and how and what the Hermeneutic Circle is. See the notes on Heidegger –

Sarah and Steve: Levin talks about the sky and the earth. When we connect to the earth it is a mindfulness of our mortality. The verticality of the human body, but the earth and the sky are horizontal. The Earth grounds us to mortality and holds us up and pulls us down at the same time, the sky connects us to our eternity and emptiness. Paraphrasing Heidegger – Pg. 273, body and mouth quote from Levin.

Safranski from Deb said: Enter Hannah Arendt – He was 35 years old and she turned eyes, she was feisty, and magical. She was intelligent and began having secret rendez vous with Heidegger. She accepted the rules of total secrecy and they begin an affair. "the most striking thing about her was the suggestive force that eminated from her eyes." Heidegger begins to write Being and Time and he leaves his family to go write. He is promoted to full professor. His mother dies in the Spring of 1927, he feels bad that his mother died knowing there had been a lapse in his faith. He placed a newly published copy of Being and Time on his mother's death bed.

He defines Dasein as human life. His philosophy turns toward the darkness of the lived moment. He had two philosophical questions he was trying to answer. What does being mean? And what is the meaning of being? His answer: The meaning of being is time. Existence is man's relationship with his own being. He says we are never done, we cannot walk around ourselves. We must lead our lives and we are what we become. Death is the great "in the past." Science sees human life only in relationship to other things. He sees us as being as temporality and potentiality for being. He does not include joy or love in our being. His moods fill his work. Being in Time was different because it did not offer a therapy. His book did not have a solution. Intentionality is the most important insight of Phenomenology. Phenomenologically one neither experiences oneself first and then the world or the other way around. The world reference of Dasein, Intentionality. The analysis of Dasein Heidegger calls existential analysis the analysis of being. Man's fundemental determination is dealing with something. Not working with something, dealing with something.

Care – anxiety is the same as care. Heidegger discusses anxiety and uses a fable to describe how care and anxiety are the same. Planning, caring, providing looking after, proceeding. The time reference is important here. Only a creature who sees an open and care is nothing other than lived temporality. See page 157 penultimate paragraph for Care and temporality.

Mood is how we become aware of our own being. We are always in some mood or another. He does not explore all possible moods, only those that fit into his schema. According to Safranski the best chapters of Being and Time are those on death and authenticity and inauthenticity. Life becomes more burdensome the more inward man becomes. He suggests that being oneself is being authentic. His work Being and Time was appended continually. He says that //temporality// is our being. .

Moran (2007) describes Merleau-Ponty's conception of history in this way, History can never be understood as a single stream of meanings; there is no perspective from which we can view the course of history from outside, anymore than we can achieve a perceptual view of a house as 'seen from nowhere.' All thought, like all perception, is situated and perspectival (p. 404).

And more on temporality from Steeves Steeves (2007) writes, the instantaneous Now moment is a fiction. Like the notes of a melody that are experienced long after they sound, so each and every experience I have stretches forward and backward in time, calling forth what has just passed and anticipating what is to come (p. 104).

Heidegger says you need to feel boredom from which the exceedingly surprising and alarming. His lectures can be summed up in three steps – 1.We are absorbed in the world and it fills us. 2.Everything is removed (emptied, separated, at a distance). 3. Our oneself and the world returns with new intensity.

God is visible through man, nature is visible through man. "It is through man that nature has erupted into self visibility." Germany becomes conservative and anti-intellectual and Heidegger decides that everything political is inauthentic. He has a crashing crisis, and is offered the most important philosophy chair in all of Germany. He turns down the offer. MH begins to wonder if his philosophy offers anything more than the ancient Greeks. See pg. 149 in Krell.

Side Note – How are our readings preparing us for writing our projects? – **__We will discuss Chapter 3s in detail next week.__**
