A Phenomenological Approach to Contemporary Politics Rachel Naomi Atkinson A dissertation submitted to the University of Bristol in accordance with the requirements for award of the degree of MPhil in the Faculty of Arts, Philosophy Department, September 2019 Word Count: 24604 1 Contemporary British politics seems to be rife with confusion, conflict, and complexities. All of which is creating a feeling of political apathy. The very way we interact with one another in the sphere of politics is becoming more and more challenged. With the right approach we can begin to understand not only our engagement within politics but also our relationships with others within this complex domain. Despite the many, and varied, approaches to politics, I find there to be something missing. A new perspective is needed, one that can enable us to get to the heart of the problem. This fresh approach will be phenomenological in nature, and will adhere to Heidegger’s phenomenology as portrayed in Being and Time. In spite of the concern surrounding Heidegger’s own participation in politics, I believe that Being and Time still contains much that can be employed in this project. By framing intersubjective relationships in terms of authenticity it will become clear just how damaging our interactions with others have become, including within the realm of British politics. I intend to explore Heidegger’s concept of Mitsein and then supplement it with an amalgamation of: Lawrence Vogel’s and Werner Marx’s reconstructions of Mitsein; and Lauren Freeman’s account of Heideggerian recognition. All of which will help me establish a refreshing Heideggerian approach to contemporary politics. 2 I declare that the work in this dissertation was carried out in accordance with the requirements of the University's Regulations and Code of Practice for Research Degree Programmes and that it has not been submitted for any other academic award.

    IN SEARCH OF NON-IDENTITY: ADORNO’S CRITIQUE OF HEIDEGGER By Andrea Walsh A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Philosophy—Doctor of Philosophy 2018 ABSTRACT IN SEARCH OF NON-IDENTITY: ADORNO’S CRITIQUE OF HEIDEGGER By Andrea Walsh This dissertation explores Theodor Adorno’s career-long critique of Martin Heidegger’s Fundamental Ontology toward understanding how the latter may be inherently supportive of a negative dialectical approach to social critique and change. Adorno’s negative dialectics is motivated by the assumption that ethical rationality is primordially rooted in non-identity thinking, and it proposes that three basic conditions must be met for non-identity thinking to be truly engaged: the subject must acknowledge that the object takes socio-epistemic priority in constructions of meaning; she must attend to the object’s particular qualities that resist circumscription by the totalizing concepts of modern autonomous reason; and she must resolve to relate to the object through a “mimetic” form of rationality, which is passively attuned to the playful and unfinished elements of experience as much as it is inclined to critically interpret the particular socio-material conditions that shape consciousness and its environments. Without meeting these conditions, rationality tacitly sanctions subjects to reify experience as it takes an idealist form. While emphasizing that the problem of reification is endemic to public life at large, Adorno foregrounds its correlation with the persistence of philosophical idealism within the academy, leading him to target the phenomenological and existential traditions in general, and Heidegger’s Fundamental Ontology in particular, as inherently antagonistic to what he deems is philosophy’s central mission of normalizing non- identity thinking in both theory and praxis.

  • Heidegger, Hegel, Marx: Marcuse and the Theory of Historicity
    KRITIKE VOLUME TWO NUMBER TWO (DECEMBER 2008) 46-64 Article Heidegger, Hegel, Marx: Marcuse and the Theory of Historicity Jeffry V. Ocay he search for a historically conscious individual who is disposed to “radical action” is the main thrust of this paper. This is premised on T the following claims: first, that the modern society is a pathological society whose rules, most often but not necessarily, imply control and domination; thus a “refusal” to abide by these rules is the most appropriate alternative available; and, second, that there is still hope for the Enlightenment’s project of emancipation, that is, such “refusal,” which means a political fight for liberation, is still winnable no matter how formidable the forces of domination may be. But this paper can only do so much. I do not offer any universal and prefab solution to the pathological society. What I do instead is argue that the emergence of a historically conscious individual who is disposed to “radical action,” which eventually leads to a “collective radical action,” is still possible today. I also argue that “radical action” presupposes an awareness of the concrete socio-historical situations, thus the importance of “historicity.” This is done through a reconstructive reading of Marcuse’s Critical Theory. In fact, my argument is just an echo on what Marcuse did more than four decades ago. The paper starts with a brief discussion on “historicity” and the background of Marcuse’s conception of historicity as a requisite for a theory of liberation. The discussion on Marcuse’s engagement with Heidegger follows. This part is important in understanding Marcuse because, in my opinion, it was his reading of Being and Time that led Marcuse to believe that the fight for liberation must begin within the “individual” himself and not from the politically indoctrinated “proletariat” of Marx.

  • Exploring Ethics in Heidegger's Being
    THE ETHICS OF BEING-WITH: EXPLORING ETHICS IN HEIDEGGER’S BEING AND TIME A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada (c) Copyright by Adam Rejak 2014 Theory, Culture and Politics M.A. Graduate Program September 2014 ABSTRACT The Ethics of Being-With: Exploring Ethics in Heidegger’s Being and Time Adam Rejak Martin Heidegger is perhaps best known for his work Being and Time, in which he tries to re-discover what he deems to be a forgotten question; the meaning of being. However, what many have missed in this work is the ethical potential it presents, particularly through his notion of Mitsein. This thesis will discuss how the history of philosophy has misunderstood the question of intersubjectivity. Throughout the history of philosophy, there has been a tendency to focus on detachment of the subject, rather than an engaged existence. Heidegger overcomes this by introducing the concept of Mitsein and allowing us to think of being-with one another as something which is integral to our very being, rather than something which comes to us through detached reflection. The consequences of this re-interpretation are significant for ethics because our starting point is always-already with others, rather than isolated and alone. Keywords: Heidegger, Mitsein, Ethics, Being-with, Intersubjectivity ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor, Professor David Holdsworth, my reader Kathryn Norlock and my external supervisor Emilia Angelova. This project would not be possible without their hours of help and guidance.

Studies on foundation and truth in Phenomenology a dissertation by Tobias Keiling Doctoral Supervisor: Prof. John Sallis Abstract: This dissertation gathers four studies on related topics in the phenomenological tradition and Martin Heidegger’s philosophy in particular. Methodologically, it addresses the question as to how a reading of a philosophical text can offer access to the phenomena relevant for philosophy. Beginning with a reading of one his latest lectures on the end of philosophy and the the potential of phenomenology (The End of Philosophy and the Task of Thinking), the first chapter questions Heidegger’s dismissal of the notion of ground in this lecture, arguing that an innovative reading of a passage from Contributions to Philosophy can address a problem left unresolved in the lecutre. Instead of reducing it to its alleged function in metaphysics, I propose to explore the semantic and descriptive potential of ‘ground’ and related notions outside of the ontological and metaphysical discourse. The second chapter inquires about the particular position of On the Origin of the Work of Art in the context of Heidegger’s theory of truth.

  • Ethics and Finitude: Heideggerian Contributions to Moral Philosophy
    (Old Dominion Univ.) Ethics and Finitude: Heideggerian Contributions to Moral Philosophy Lawrence J. Hatab ROM EARLY IN HIS THINKING Heidegger subordinated the question of F ethics to the question of Being. Like other ontical matters, ethics could not be addressed adequately until the ontological question of Dasein's general mode of Being was given priority. I Heidegger often indicated that this should not be taken to mean a rejection of, or indifference toward, ethics; rather, ethics, again like other ontic regions, has concealed within its mode of thinking a primordial dimension that can open up the way in which Dasein is in the world. My reading of this ontic-ontological differentiation is as follows. Ethics is rich in its analysis of normative topics but poor in attention to our being-ethical-in-the-world, in the fullest sense that Heidegger would give to such a phrase. This coordination of ethics and ontology suggests the possibility of taking up ethics anew once we have clarified the overall existential constitution of Dasein. Although Heidegger often gives the impression of segregating ontology from "practical" disciplines like ethics, I am convinced that this was an analytical division and not a substantive one. 2 Much in the early Heidegger has seemed promising for an investigation of ethics. 3 But there is also a good deal of suspicion about the ethical possibilities in Heidegger (notably in the work of Habermas and Levinas). Given the Olympian distance of Heidegger's later thought (e.g., the claim that Denken has "no result" and "no effect"4) and given his fascist politics together with the deceit and galling silence of the postwar years, the segregation of ethics from ontology can be interpreted as a more heinous division-that Heidegger's thought was or became indifferent to ethics, or worse, inseparable from something dark and barbaric.

  • CHAPTER SIX the BEGINNING of the HISTORY of BEING By
    CHAPTER SIX THE BEGINNING OF THE HISTORY OF BEING By providing a detailed reading of Heidegger's account of the beginning of the understanding of Being as presencing with the ancient Greeks, this chapter shows Heidegger's notion of the Temporality of Being "in action." Heidegger claims that, though the pre-Socratics originally glimpsed the role of Being as the cultural ordering of what-is, this insight, and hence Being itself, has sunk further and further into "oblivion" as the history of metaphysics has unfolded. The pre-Socratics grasped the relationship between the cultural practices and how things show themselves as well as the role of Time in the presencing of the Being of what-is, but Heidegger's contribution to the history of Being is the explicit recognition of what they only tacitly recognized. By now the reader should be forewarned that Heidegger's reflections assimilate a philosopher's thinking into his own view of the history of metaphysics. He does not attempt to give what we might regard as an "historically objective" analysis of their views, but, then, Heidegger's work brings into question the meaning of this phrase in a way that we have already seen. Here I only try to trace his own vision, not argue with him about what a philosopher really meant, but, then, Heidegger's philosophy is this vision and in our context such arguments seem irrelevant. The chapter starts with a discussion of the beginning of Dasein's history in ancient Greece, and then, in section 6.2, we examine Heidegger's account of the rise of 307 metaphysical thinking with Anaximander.

    RICE UNIVERSITY Feminist Interpretations of the Home and the Practice of Dwelling by Summer Henderson A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE Master of Arts APPROVED, THESIS COMMITTEE: S~annaNazro Mullen Professor of Philosophy, Chair HOUSTON, TEXAS JULY 2011 ABSTRACT Feminist Interpretations of the Home and the Practice of Dwelling by Summer Henderson This thesis explores a resignification of the home in light of Heidegger' s concept of dwelling. I begin by reviewing two opposing interpretations of the social and psychological dimensions ofhome: the traditional view, which sees the home as a site of comfort, refuge and centeredness, and the feminist view, which interprets the home as a site of objectification, difference and oppression. Seeking to cut through the debate, I develop an account of the home based on Heidegger' s description of dwelling, which understands the home to be a manifestation of our dwelling practices. That is, the home reveals our way of being open, provisional, historical and communal. In addition to bringing this account to bear on the prior interpretations, I end the thesis with an argument against postmodem proposals of "homelessness" and explore the relationship between the home as a site of dwelling and our understanding of self. A most sincere thank you to Dr. Steven Crowell for all his time, invaluable assistance and intellectual guidance, Dr. H. Tristam Engelhardt and Dr. Gwen Bradford for their help and encouragement, Vinod for always being my most supportive reader and keenest critic, and Rachel and Leigh for their conversation, understanding, and inspiration.
