Routledge Philosophy Guidebook to the Later Heidegger / George Pattison Routledge Philosophy GuideBook to The Later Heidegger ‘A highly instructive and engaging guide through Heidegger’s later writings, written in a lucid and accessible manner.’ Keith Ansell Pearson, University of Warwick ‘... a lively, clear and engaging overview of the key ideas in Heidegger’s later writings.’ Charles Guignon, University of Vermont This Routledge Philosophy GuideBook guides the reader through the complexities of Heidegger’s later works. The book offers a clear introduction to the main themes that preoccupied Heidegger in the second part of his career: technology, art, the history of philosophy and the exploration of a new post- technological way of thinking. George Pattison explores many aspects of the later Heidegger, including the massive controversy surrounding his Nazism, as well as his readings of Nietzsche, the Presocratics and Hölderlin. Pattison also carefully investigates the difficult question of the nature of Heidegger’s thought, together with its significance for philosophy today. The Later Heidegger is essential reading for all students coming to Heidegger’s later works for the first time. George Pattison is Dean of King’s College, Cambridge.

However, there is one point I should comment on. Different English renderings of Heidegger adopt different strategies with regard to capitalising the English ‘Being’ as a translation of Heidegger’s German ‘Sein’. The advantage of giving the lower-case ‘being’ is that it brings out the verbal aspect of the term and avoids misreading it as a hypostatised metaphysical concept. On the other hand, this could on occasion lead to it being read simply as a present participle and not as a distinctive philosophical term. In any case, the German word is a nominalisation of the infinitive, not the present participle ‘seiend’ (the nominal form of which, ‘Seiendes’, is usually translated ‘beings’ or ‘entities’). Where I have quoted English translations that follow a different practice, I have, of course, kept to their usage. Some measure of interpretation is unavoidable here, both on my part and on that of the reader. Perhaps, in the light of Heidegger’s own comments on philosophy and translation, the best we can do is to remember to hear the German ‘Sein’ in the English ‘Being’. ix Acknowledgments I have received help of various kinds from many friends and colleagues in preparing this volume, including those who have lent me books, discussed the argument as it developed and read the manuscripts. These include Don Cupitt, Istvan Hont, Clare Carlisle, Ulrich Knappe, Melissa Lane, Neil Pattison, Mike Weston and Espen Hammer. The genesis of the book owes a lot to Ulrich Fentzloff. I am particularly grateful to Utta Vinzent for her research on the reception of Van Gogh in the Nazi era. I was able to try out some of the ideas in a number of talks and seminars, and I would like to thank those who invited me: Simon Etheridge (Bishop’s Stortford High School), Michael Wilcockson (Eton College), Brian Hebblethwaite (the ‘D’ Society, Cambridge Divinity School), John Lippitt (University of Hertfordshire) and Martin Kusch (‘Philosopher King’s’ – the philosophy society of King’s College, Cambridge).

The danger and the turning In December 1949 Martin Heidegger, banned from lecturing in the University of Freiburg on account of his involvement with Nazism, gave a series of four addresses to ‘The Club’ in Bremen, a gathering of business and professional people who, for the most part, had no great interest in or understanding of philoso- phy, but who were happy to turn out to hear a man known as their country’s most influential living philosopher. In these lec- tures Heidegger spoke of the danger hanging over the present age. This was already the era of the Atomic Bomb and the be- ginning of the Cold War, in which the possibility of a catastrophic nuclear exchange was a continuous threat to the peoples of the world, and especially to those of Central Europe. Perhaps Heidegger’s non-philosophical auditors may have heard in his words a reference to that situation, and perhaps he was himself happy to use the rhetorical force of such an allusion to win a hearing for his argument, but the danger with which Heidegger 1 IS THERE A LATER HEIDEGGER? was chiefly concerned operated on another level altogether. This danger was neither Russian Communism, nor American capitalism, nor the prospect of all-out war between them, but, in Heidegger’s own formulation ‘The coming to presence of Enframing is the danger.’ (QT: 41) What did he mean? In order to answer this question, let us look, firstly, at what Heidegger means by the odd-sounding term ‘enframing’. ‘Enframing’, in Heidegger’s sense of the word, is not unconnected with the world of technology for whose darker possibilities the Atomic Bomb was, at that time, the most potent symbol. Nevertheless, as Heidegger many times insists, enframing is not itself anything technological. Very provisionally, we may say that it is something like the mind-set underlying modern technology. However, ‘enframing’ is not only manifested in such things as atomic bombs, televisions or washing-machines, but is equally present in culture and every- day life. When we talk of ‘the culture industry’ or ‘quality time’ or of being ‘consumers of the countryside’ we are revealing the influence of enframing on our way of thinking. And, quite apart from such threats as nuclear war and environmental degradation, the ‘danger’ of which Heidegger spoke would still, in his terms, remain. For the danger is in enframing itself, not in the success or failure of the technology that it sustains or in the malign application of that technology. As the mind-set that underlies the rise of technology and that permeates our daily habits of speech and thought, enframing is Heidegger’s term for a way of objectifying our world and our experience (including our experience of ourselves) in such a way as to make what is enframed available for our use, manipulable and transformable in the service of designated goals and purposes.

The essays focus on the dialogue with the continental philosophical tradition, in particular the work of Heidegger, that has played a foundational role in Dreyfus’s thinking.

  • Accommodating Thrown-Being in the World Terrilyn Gail Sweep Bsc (Wolverhampton, UK), MA (UQ)
    Accommodating thrown-being in the world Terrilyn Gail Sweep BSc (Wolverhampton, UK), MA (UQ) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 The School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry, UQ Abstract In Accommodating thrown-being in the world, I bring the facticity of an unchosen existence into focus for philosophical investigation. I place this feature of the human condition centrally within a conceptual framework from which I analyse it from an ontological and then a concrete perspective. It is the method I adopt to understand firstly what it means to be such a being and, secondly, to take this understanding into the context of the lived problems that surface on account of our initial unchosen lives. This juxtaposition uses the structure of the underlying ways we have our being to elucidate a possible approach, or ethos, to the seemingly intractable problems of difference, inequalities and contingent ways of being a human. My guiding objective in this thesis is to validate the rationale for proposing this ethos, which is to embrace the fact of our initial unchosen being as a way of nurturing receptivity to the equivalent fact of this unchosen aspect in other lives. The central question is that if I did not choose my life and you did not choose yours, how are we to accommodate this fact within philosophical thought? Is there something purposeful to be said of thrown-being that can illuminate my unchosen start in life, and can this explanatory light be extended to my relationship with others? I am not content to leave the idea of thrown-being in the background of philosophical thought as something ‘given’, instead in this thesis I treat it as a problem that must be approached in a positive way because we must all persist with an unchosen existence.

  • Heidegger and Dilthey: Language, History, and Hermeneutics
    Chapter 8 Heidegger and Dilthey: Language, History, and Hermeneutics Eric S. Nelson Introduction It is disputable how extensively the hermeneutically and historically oriented “life-philosophy” (Lebensphilosophie) of Wilhelm Dilthey (1833–1911) influenced Heidegger’s intellectual development in the period between the First World War and the publication of Being and Time. There is a strong thesis, proposed by Charles Guignon in his classic work Heidegger and the Problem of Knowledge (1983) and developed by Theodore Kisiel (1993, 313) and Charles Bambach (1995, 232), which maintains that a period of Heidegger’s thought in the early to mid-1920s was influenced by Dilthey’s interpretation of concepts such as hermeneutics, historicity, facticity, finitude, and generation to such an extent that an early draft of Being and Time has been described as a ‘Dilthey draft.’1 A second more minimalistic interpretation suggests that the scope and depth of Dilthey’s impact is overstated. It emphasizes an intellectual formation shaped by other sources: modern German Scholasticism, the transcendental philosophy of his teachers—Heinrich Rickert’s neo-Kantianism and Edmund Husserl’s I would like to thank Megan Altman and Jin Y. Park for their encouragement and comments. An earlier version of parts of this chapter appeared in “Heidegger and Dilthey: A Difference in Interpretation,” ed. François Raffoul and E. S.
