When one of his students dared to ask Martin Heidegger if he could tell him something about the life of Aristotle, Heidegger mockingly answered: ”Aristotle was born, he worked, he died.” This denial to acknowledge the relevance of biography for philosophy is ironic to say the least. There are hardly any philosophers whose works were as noticeably influenced by personal events as his own. Moreover, this rejection of biography is inconsistent with other aspects of his philosophy.

This seminar focuses on Kittler's latest and perhaps most ambitious project, Musik und Mathematik. This work aims to present a cultural history of the Western world in four volumes, starting in ancient Greece, then passing through Rome, the middle ages and up to the present computerized age. In the Fall of 2009, alternating between locations at Utrecht University and the University of Amsterdam, organizers Sander van Maas en Jan Hein Hoogstad invite scholars from all disciplinary backgrounds to join in the reading.
