SummaryIn the following paper we will undertake a close analysis of “The Self-Assertion of the German University,” Martin Heidegger’s address to the University of Freiburg upon assuming the rectorship at the school. Though space constraints dictate that we cannot explicate and critique the address in full, we will nevertheless examine the following questions: What are some of the claims which Heidegger asserts and how does he argue for them? Are his arguments valid, or objectionable on something other than analytic grounds, e.g., moral or empirical grounds? What implications might they have for the address in full?
