Scientific work

Trawny's approach to philosophical problems uses a phenomenological-hermeneutical method. At the center of his work are questions of political philosophy , ethics , technology and media philosophy, as well as questions of art and literature.

In his last work, Trawny devotes himself to the elaboration of a philosophical understanding of globalization and cosmopolitanism, which is already indicated in Adyton and v. a. clearly differentiated in medium and revolution . Trawny tries to interpret globalization from its tension with the media and thus comes to a definition of the medium as “the immaterial unit of technology and capital”. Based on Heidegger's event-thinking, Trawny tries to translate the Marxist revolutionary discourse into the historical-contextual conditions of the 21st century, whereby, due to his determination of the medium, the questions of political philosophy are intertwined with those of technology and media philosophy.

In addition to his research and teaching, Trawny is consistently involved in the scientific edition of the Martin Heidegger Complete Edition .

Peter Trawny became known to a broader public as the editor of Heidegger's notebooks and thinking diaries (the so-called black notebooks ), which rekindled the debate about Heidegger's involvement in National Socialism . Trawny shows that Heidegger's anti-Semitism not only shaped his private life, but also contaminated his philosophy of the history of being .
