About this event
Simon Critchley: Heidegger Thinking: ‘Being and Time’ Explained Somehow we know intuitively that Heidegger’s Being and Time is important, without really being able to explain why. In 18 clear chapters, philosopher Simon Critchley’s Heid egger Thinking (NYRB), based on a series of podcasts recorded during the uncertain times of 2020, leads us on a slow, intimate journey through Heidegger's notoriously difficult architecture in terms that are understandable and, most importantly, usable for intelligent, curious laypeople. Critchley will be in conversation with Tom McCarthy whose latest novel The Rhyl Poster will be published in November 2026. Tom McCarthy Photo ©Kate Joyce for the Santa Fe Institute.

This venue’s world
This venue sits in the collection, not this one title.
Traditions this room works in
Tags on the venue. Other London rooms carry the same lineage. Not a claim that this film invented the tradition.
Also playing this week
Same kind of night (talks) in London. Spread across the week, not a ranking.
A different kind of night
Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
