The Zollikon Seminars were conducted intermittently, "two to three times per semester", between 1959 and 1969. Boss noted that Heidegger dedicated three hours a night, two nights a week to the task, and typically spent the day before preparing the lectures. Typically, fifty to seventy of Boss's psychiatric colleagues and students were invited to the lectures.
The first seminar was on 8 September 1959 in the auditorium of the Burghölzli Clinic at University of Zurich. Heidegger included in his introductory lecture a brief explication of Da-sein, "the basic constitution of human being" as "being-in-the-world". He also offered to the students a radical diversion from conventional Cartesian epistemology, namely "all objectifying representations of a capsule-like psyche, subject, person, ego or consciousness in psychology and psychopathology must be abandoned in favor of a new understanding." Boss observed at this time that the modern, technological conveniences of the lecture hall were ill-fitting for Heidegger's thought, so the remainder of the seminars were held at Boss's home.
The first lecture was documented only as a result of Heidegger's notes. The lectures given between 1960 and 1964 do not appear to have been recorded; they are absent from the Zollikon Seminars text. The subsequent lectures, given between 24 January 1964 until the end were transcribed verbatim (though possibly not in their entirety) or condensed.
The last of the Zollikon Seminars was held in July, 1969. (wikipedia)
Part One is a selection from a November 1965 Zollikon seminar, the actual translated portions comingfrom pages 150-157 of his Zollikoner Seminare (1987).
Part Two is from one of Heidegger's original handwritten texts developed in conjunction with a conversation with Professor Boss on March 8 of the same year (ZS, pp. 236-242).
Part Three is taken from Boss's dictated records of private conversations with Heidegger in November of 1965 (ZS, pp. 253-256).
Finally, the brief Part Four is from another personal conversation between Heidegger and Boss, this one taking place in July of 1969, the final year of the Zollikon seminars (ZS pp. 286).
