Kriterion Miolo 110.P65 3/1/2005, 09:47294 PROLEGOMENON for an ETHICS of VISIBILITY in HANNAH ARENDT 295
PROLEGOMENON FOR AN ETHICS OF VISIBILITY IN HANNAH ARENDT* Bethânia Assy** ABSTRACT This paper aims to discuss the Arendtian notions of appearance and perception in order to promote a displacement of those conceptions from the generally associated domain of passive apprehension of the faculty of knowledge towards the domain of a praxiology of action and language, based on an active perception. Arendt’s appropriations on the Heideggerian “to take one’s <it> place” (sich hin-stellen) will be discussed, as well as the Augustinian “finding oneself in the world” (diligere). A twofold disposition of appearance will be distinguished: producing and position, whose transposed to the Arendtian notion of world correspond, respectively, to fabrication (poiesis) of the world, man’s objective in-between space, and to action (praxis) in the world, man’s subjective in-between space. Those conceptual replacements, in a broad sense, uphold a closer imbrication between the activities of the mind and acting, stricto sensu, and consequently, foment not only the valorization of the public space, but the visibility of our acts and deeds as well, calling out the dignity of appearance in ethics. Key-words Ethics of visibility, Hannah Arendt, Martin Heidegger, Active Perception, Appearance * Paper delivered at Prof. Axel Honneth’s Forschungskolloquium zur Sozialphilosophie in the Philosophy Department at Frankfurt University during my stay as visiting scholar in the Summer Semester/2003. An the same occasion this paper was also delivered at Kolloquium des Hannah Arendt-Zentrums, at the Carl Von Ossietzky University, Oldenburg, directed by Antonia Grunenberg.

Depopulation: on the Logic of Heidegger's Volk
Research research in phenomenology 47 (2017) 297–330 in Phenomenology brill.com/rp Depopulation: On the Logic of Heidegger’s Volk Nicolai Krejberg Knudsen Aarhus University [email protected] Abstract This article provides a detailed analysis of the function of the notion of Volk in Martin Heidegger’s philosophy. At first glance, this term is an appeal to the revolutionary mass- es of the National Socialist revolution in a way that demarcates a distinction between the rootedness of the German People (capital “P”) and the rootlessness of the modern rabble (or people). But this distinction is not a sufficient explanation of Heidegger’s position, because Heidegger simultaneously seems to hold that even the Germans are characterized by a lack of identity. What is required is a further appropriation of the proper. My suggestion is that this logic of the Volk is not only useful for understanding Heidegger’s thought during the war, but also an indication of what happened after he lost faith in the National Socialist movement and thus had to make the lack of the People the basis of his thought. Keywords Heidegger – Nazism – Schwarze Hefte – Black Notebooks – Volk – people Introduction In § 74 of Sein und Zeit, Heidegger introduces the notorious term “the People” [das Volk]. For Heidegger, this term functions as the intersection between phi- losophy and politics and, consequently, it preoccupies him throughout the turbulent years from the National Socialist revolution in 1933 to the end of WWII in 1945. The shift from individual Dasein to the Dasein of the German People has often been noted as the very point at which Heidegger’s fundamen- tal ontology intersects with his disastrous political views. -
Between Heidegger and Derrida: on the Impossible Futures of Techne
KIR KUIKEN Between Heidegger and Derrida: On the Impossible Futures of Techne This paper is not the first to interrogate the term “legacies” in the title of this conference, implying as it does the vast problems of inheritance, of debt and even of mourning. A conference on the “Legacies of Theory” necessarily provokes a meditation on the notion of “legacy” itself. What I do not wish to take issue with in this term is what is implied by the plural: “legacies.” If the concept of “legacy” implies inheritance, then there is the possibility of inheritance only where its contingencies are multiple, contested and even contradictory. This multiplicity is in fact the precondition of inheriting, its very chance or possibility. What I do want to contest, however, is a certain relation to time that the term “legacies” implies. At a moment when the term “post-theory” has entered the academic lexicon, and when books with titles such as Life After Theory (Derrida et al.)1 have begun to mark its retreat or displacement within the institution, the term “legacies” risks collusion with a discourse that seeks to extirpate any real encounter with its “legacy,” multiple, contested or otherwise. And if I might be permitted to replace the term “theory” with the term “deconstruction,” the problematic nature of the concept of “legacy” makes itself clearer. Insofar as the term “legacy” implies a certain “temporality of presence,” with a clear, single, undivided border 1 The book contains an interview with Derrida, who addresses the question of “what comes after” theory very differently than the other contributors. -
Reading Heidegger As an Immigrant, Or 'Displacing Dasein'
Reading Heidegger as an immigrant, or ‘displacing Dasein’: the phenomenological implications of displacement Mersiye Bora Thesis submitted to Royal Holloway, University of London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Politics, International Relations, and Philosophy 2017 1 Declaration of authorship I, Mersiye Bora, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Mersiye Bora September, 2017 2 Abstract In Being and Time, Heidegger demands that readers reflect on their own experiences. As a response to this demand, I argue that the experience of displacement is missing from Heidegger’s existential analytic of Dasein, and that the phenomenon of displacement creates a rich discussion between Heidegger’s fundamental ontology and his later writings on art and technology. The task of this work is to establish a dialogue between Heidegger’s writings and the phenomenon of displacement. This thesis is a product of thinking about displacement through Heidegger, and thinking of Heidegger through displacement. The first chapter describes how the meaning of immigration as displacement is effaced in everyday political discourse and quantitative approaches, which have an ontological ground in traditional metaphysics. The second chapter explores Heidegger’s phenomenological ontology through his criticism of western ontology, which allows me to show how displacement becomes a philosophical problem. The chapter further argues that the displaced is Dasein, who has lost the world in which it lives and thereby has become homeless. It also considers the primordial homelessness of Dasein, which shows itself in anxiety, and the homelessness of the displaced. -
Introduction
DRAFT: PLEASE DO NOT CIRCULATE WITHOUT PERMISSION. Khôragraphical Connections From Being to Event in Heidegger and Whitehead by Richard T. Livingston April 12, 2014 65th Annual Meeting of the Metaphysical Society of America Introduction If the work of the vast majority of great thinkers is any indication—from speculative philosophers to natural theologians to epic poets to theoretical physicists—if their work is indicative of any sort of shared sensibility, it is that the desire to make sense of and give expression to the beauty, meaning, and nature of the cosmos is part of what it means to be human at all. In his most recent book Stephen Hawking boldly proposes that we may have finally discovered the holy grail of modern science, a so‐ called theory of everything, what he once said would be “the ultimate triumph of human reason,” the answer to the perennial question of why there is anything at all.1 From the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva to the agora of Athens in ancient Greece, Plato’s Timaeus is every bit as audacious, even if its understanding of the world and method of elucidation differs radically from the likes of Hawking’s Grand Design. Given the immense breadth and depth, as well as the profundity of insight, contained in Timaeus isn’t at all surprising that that dialogue has captured the creative imagination of so many generations of thinkers in such a wide variety of contexts. Indeed, the title of a relatively recent publication of essays written by twenty‐two contemporary Plato scholars attempts to capture the sheer audacity of the philosophical masterpiece: One Book, The Whole Universe.2 Some 2500 years later Timaeus still peaks passionate interest and generates rich reflections.3 1 Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow, The Grand Design, First Edition (Bantam Books, 2010). -

Disregarding the increasing support by well-educated voters, much of this literature appears to presume that populism and intellectualism in the far-right are separate rather than complementary phenomena. -
Manipulating Affordances in Practice: a Hermeneutic Phenomenological Study of Mobility Impairment and Uses of Digital Technologies in Work

Signature : R. Topol i Ruth Shirley Topol, B.Com (Hons), MA (Dist) Manipulating affordances in practice: A hermeneutic phenomenological study of mobility impairment and uses of digital technologies in work Doctor of Philosophy, September, 2016 ABSTRACT This qualitative, interpretive study uses a triad of theoretical lenses - affordance theory, hermeneutic phenomenology and the social barriers model of disability - through which to gain an understanding of how people with mobility impairments use digital technologies in their work practices. A hermeneutic phenomenological methodology is used to reveal the phenomena, then to interpret the subsequent text through understandings of accessibility and use-potential which derive from the social barriers model and from affordance theory respectively. The significance of the study for policy, practice and research is a better understanding of how mobility impairment impacts workers who have historically and currently, been and remain, un- and under- employed. Eleven participants, all with mobility impairments, some self-employed and others employed, but all white-collar professionals or management-level ‘knowledge workers’, constitute the purposive sample used in the study. -

В статье анализируется проблема экзистенциальных оснований человеческой идентичности в контексте технократических вызовов современной эпохи. В качестве оснований идентичности рассматриваются временность, экстатичность, связанность индивидуального бытия с бытием Других. Внимание уделяется экзистенциальным смыслам смертности и временности Другого, заключающихся в онтологических настроениях боли и тревоги. Эти настроения определяются в качестве оснований подлинного в различных социокультурных идентификациях. Специфика современности определяется в русле философии техники М. Хайдеггера, т.е. в господстве особого способа человеческого бытия – Ge-stell. Антропологические риски и вызовы современной эпохи рассматриваются в возможности поставляемого отношения к любым само-идентификациям. В теоретико-методологическом -

World and Paradigm in Heidegger and Kuhn Mateo Belgrano Universidad Católica Argentina – CONICET Buenos Aires, Argentina Para citar este artículo: Belgrano, Mateo. «World and Paradigm in Heidegger and Kuhn». Franciscanum 175, Vol. 63 (2021): 1-16. Abstract The aim of this article is to compare Heidegger's philosophy of science with that of Thomas Kuhn. This comparison has two objectives: 1) to use Kuhn's conceptual arsenal to make Heidegger's position clearer; and 2) to show that Heidegger's and Kuhn's positions are not as different as might be expected. Consequently, I may suggest that these philosophies can be compatible. I will show that while there are differences, also there are many continuities. I will address three issues: 1) the differences and similarities between Kuhn's notion of the paradigm and Heidegger's notion of the world; 2) the analogous concepts of «normal science» and «calculating thought»; and 3) the source of intelligibility in both authors. The main difference between the two thinkers, I believe, lies therein. Keywords Science, Paradigm, World, Being, Thinking. Mundo y paradigma en Heidegger y Kuhn Resumen Mi objetivo en este artículo es comparar la filosofía de la ciencia de Heidegger con la de Thomas Kuhn. Con esta comparación quiero perseguir dos objetivos: 1) usar el arsenal conceptual de Kuhn para hacer más clara la posición de Heidegger; y 2) mostrar que las posiciones de Heidegger y Kuhn no son tan diferentes como cabría esperar. Por lo tanto, La presente investigación es parte del proyecto de investigación Cuestiones fundamentales de Filosofía contemporánea: Lenguaje, praxis, cuerpo y poder, a cargo del Dr. -
The Question Concerning Technology
The Question Concerning Technology Martin Heidegger In what follows we shall be questioning concerning technology. Questioning builds a way. We would be advised, therefore, above all to pay heed to the way, and not to fix our attention on isolated sentences and topics. The way is one of thinking. All ways of thinking, more or less perceptibly, lead through language in a manner that is extraordinary. We shall be questioning concerning technology, and in so doing we should like to prepare a free relationship to it. The relationship will be free if it opens our human existence to the essence of technology. When we can respond to this essence, we shall be able to experience the technological within its own bounds. Technology is not equivalent to the essence of technology. When we are seeking the essence of "tree," we have to become aware that what pervades every tree, as tree, is not itself a tree that can be encountered among all the other trees. Likewise, the essence of technology is by no means anything technological. Thus we shall never experience our relationship to the essence of technology so long as we merely represent and pursue the technological, put up with it, or evade it. Everywhere we remain unfree and chained to technology, whether we passionately affirm or deny it. But we are delivered over to it in the worst [288] possible way when we regard it as something neutral; for this conception of it, to which today we particularly like to pay homage, makes us utterly blind to the essence of technology. -
