Subject: Re: Question -- Selbstenthauptung der deutschen Universitaet


Cologne 14-Aug-2003

Hi Iain,

Yes, I am still da.

If I recollect rightly, you asked me that question before.

A search at Google gave some results to "Selbstenthauptung der deutschen
Universitaet" (but written with a genuine Umlaut) which may help you
further.

Have a look at:

http://www.kontextverlag.de/ullmann.html

http://dochost.rz.hu-berlin.de/humboldt-vl/jarausch-konrad/PDF/Jarausch.pdf

http://courses.nus.edu.sg/course/elljwp/heideggerlifeandwork.htm from
which the following excerpt:

"On 27 May Heidegger gave his rectoral address, Die Selbstbehauptung der
deutschen Universitaet (translated as The Self-Assertion of the German
University), which provoked ironic responses from some commentators of
the time, who suggested substituting Selbstenthauptung (Self-Beheading)
for Selbstbehauptung, having observed that self-assertion, in Heidegger’s
view, meant adherence to National Socialism."

I think that the pun is a rather obvious one, so that an ascription to a
particular original author is unlikely to be found.

Greetings from Cologne,
Michael
