Prof. Dr. Karsten Harries
Born in Jena, Germany, and trained at Yale University, Karsten Harries is the
Brooks and Suzanne Ragen Professor of Philosophy at Yale University. He has also
taught at the University of Texas and has twice been a visiting professor at the
University of Bonn.
He has published and lectured widely on Heidegger, early modern philosophy, and
the philosophy of art and architecture. He is the author of more than 170
articles and reviews and of five books:
With Christoph
Jamme he has edited Martin Heidegger: Kunst, Politik, Technik (1992),
which appeared in an English version as Martin Heidegger: Politics, Art, and
Technology (1994).
In recent years more and more of his teaching and writing has been directed to
architects. As an intersection of art and technology, architecture has given him
the possibility of exploring very concretely what today most interests him: the
question of the legitimacy and limits of that objectifying reason that presides
over our science and technology. A book, addressing the present situation of
art, The End and Origin of Art, is nearing completion. A much abbreviated
version, just given as a series of four lectures at Shanghai’s Fudan University
with the tile Why Art Matters, is scheduled to appear in a Chinese
translation.
