Being Spirit God 181 Notes 197 Glossary 203 Index 207 Preface I he Heidegger Studies presented here are a collection of essays, lectures, and speeches written in the course of the last twenty- five years, the majority of which have already been published. The fact that these are all relatively recent works should not be taken to mean that my engagement with Heidegger is recent as well. Rather, I received impetuses for thinking from Heidegger very early on, and I attempted from the very beginning to follow such impetuses within the limits of my capabilities and to the extent that I could concur. It set a standard that I had to learn to meet. However, as is always the case when one is attempting to find one's own position, some dis­ tance was needed before I was able to present Heidegger's ways of thinking as his; I first had to distinguish my own search for my ways and paths from my companionship with Heidegger and his ways. This process had its beginning with Heidegger's request that I write the introduction to the Reclam edition of his ‘Artwork” essay. Basically, this collection of works is only a continuation of what I first undertook in 1960 with that introduction. I was actually in my own element, for I took it as encouragement and confirmation of my own efforts when Heidegger introduced the work of art into his own thinking in the 1930s. Thus, my relationship to this short introduc­ tion to the “Artwork” essay of 1960 was not so much that of one “commissioned” to -write it, rather I recognized in Heidegger's thought some of the very questions I had voiced in Truth and Method. All of v ii v iii HANS-GEORG GADAMER my later Heidegger essays are an effort—although one framed by my own assumptions and capabilities—-to offer a view of the task for thinking that confronted Heidegger; they attempt to show that espe­ cially the Heidegger who had made this “turn” [Kehre] after Being and Time was in truth continuing down the same path when he encountered questions probing the underpinnings of metaphysics and attempted to think an unknown future. All of the works assembled here pursue in essence the same goal-—to introduce the independent, unconventional thought of Martin Heidegger, thought that renounced all previously existing ways of thinking and speaking. Above all, these works are intended to prevent the reader from the error of supposing that a mythology or poetizing gnosis is to be found in Heidegger’s renunciation of the customary. The fact that all of my studies are confined to a single task entails that each one of them contains an occasional element. Varia­ tions on a single theme are what confront the eyewitness who at­ tempts to give an account of the thought of Martin Heidegger. Thus, I must accept the consequently unavoidable repetitions as a part of the terrain. The first essay introduces the situation into which Heidegger entered. The following articles form a continuum as regards content. The memorial address that I gave in Freiburg after Heidegger’s death serves as the conclusion. HGG Translator’s Preface I he approach that I have taken in this translation is in es­ sence a compromise between two conflicting interests. On the one hand, I had a strong interest in rendering a translation that would allow as much of the “otherness” of the German text as possible to shimmer through in the English. Yet, on the other hand, I wanted the translation to mirror the exceptional eloquence of Gadamer’s prose. That these two interests conflict and the way that they conflict may not be readily apparent to one who has not previously worked with translations and, therefore, may warrant a short explanation. My interest in languages, especially my interest in the German language, was transformed into a passion when I first encountered Being and Tune as an undergraduate in 1982. In an effort to better understand Heidegger’s thought, I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to work through what I deemed to be key passages in the Ger­ man text. That experience was exceptionally rewarding, not so much because I was able to gain an understanding of Being and Time, but because, in facing the otherness of the German text, I was forced to begin thinking differently; I had to somehow integrate this otherness into my own thinking, which meant that I myself had to assume some of these ways of thinking as my own—a part of me became “other.” It was always with a sense of loss and some frustration that I returned to IX X JOHN W. STANLEY the translation of Sein und Zeit because the experience of this otherness was necessarily greatly diluted. The frustration is that which brought about the transformation of my interest into a passion for language; I vowed then to try to bring as much of the otherness over into a transla­ tion if I ever had the chance to do one. I interpret Gadamer’s cautious enthusiasm for Heidegger's interpretation of the Greeks as a confirmation of my own perspec­ tive, for Gadamer praised these interpretations precisely because they were able to break through the scholarly overlay and allow one to sense the otherness of Greek thinking (see Chapter 12 of this book). Yet, implicit in both the description of my experience of “otherness” with reference to Heidegger’s Sein und Zeit and in Gadamer’s motto “to think the Greeks more Greeklike” is a certain grievance against translation: The experience of this otherness seems to require that one be intimately proximate to it. Thus, when translation is neces­ sary, then the rendition with the least translating would be the best; that is, the most literal translation possible would be the one most desirable because it remains as close as possible to the original text—■ hence Gadamer’s passing definition of translation as a “word-for- word rendition of an assigned text” (see the end of Chapter 3). Here, the conflict is already beginning to show itself A “word- for-word” translation is really no translation at all, for the text of the translation would be unintelligible to any reader, probably even to the translator. The linguistic structures of the original language that support the words and lend them their meaning cannot be translated without the target language losing its integrity: Frequently the gram­ matical structures that show gender, case, and number simply cannot be translated; and the effort to mirror the syntactical order of the original language in the target language results in babble. Therefore, the translator is forced to do some interpreting, thereby distancing the translation from the original text and, hence, from the otherness embedded in the linguistic structures of the original language. This is where the freedom of the translator that Gadamer often mentions comes into play—and yet, if one translates in accord with this first interest, then the freedom of the translator is exceedingly limited; one can deviate from the original text only enough to make the translation intelligible. My second interest, the one in allowing Gadamer’s eloquence to show through, is not merely motivated by a sense of aesthetics. t r a n s l a t o r ’s p r e f a c e XI Much of the power and force of Gadamer’s thinking is lent by his prose, which often verges on the poetic. Not only does one not have to struggle with Gadamer’s text, but, moreover, it works on the reader like a magnet. To offer a translation of Gadamer’s text that seemed awkward to the English speaker would be to ignore a fundamental element of Gadamer’s thought. Gadamer himself is quite aware of this; he encouraged me in one conversation to take as much freedom as I wanted, going so far as to say, “Herr Stanley, vergessen Sie den Text” (Mr.

A. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin August 2011 ABSTRACT KNOWLEDGE AND THOUGHT IN HEIDEGGER AND FOUCAULT: TOWARDS AN EPISTEMOLOGY OF RUPTURES Arun Iyer, B.E., M.A. Marquette University, 2011 This dissertation shows how Martin Heidegger and Michel Foucault, by questioning the very understanding of the subject-object relationship on which all epistemology is grounded, challenge two of its most cherished beliefs: 1. Thought and knowledge are essentially activities on the part of the subject understood anthropologically or transcendentally. 2. The history of knowledge exhibits teleological progress towards a better and more comprehensive account of its objects. In contrast to traditional epistemology, both Heidegger and Foucault show how thought and knowledge are not just acts, which can be attributed to the subject but also events which elude any such subjective characterization. They also show us how the history of knowledge exhibits ruptures when the very character of knowledge undergoes drastic transformation in the course of history. The dissertation concludes by hinting at how these new accounts of thought and knowledge have the potential to shake the very foundations of epistemology and lead us to a new framework for discussing the most basic questions of epistemology, towards an epistemology of ruptures.

  • THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY of AMERICA Speaking and Thinking
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Speaking and Thinking about God in Rosenzweig and Heidegger A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Philosophy Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Paul Murphy Higgins Washington, D.C. 2013 Speaking and Thinking about God in Rosenzweig and Heidegger Paul Murphy Higgins, Ph.D. Director: Holger Zaborowski, D.Phil. In the early twentieth century, many philosophers began to reject Kantian and Hegelian approaches to the question of God and the philosophy of religion. The challenge was then to formulate a new way of talking about God within philosophy without necessarily having to revert to pre-modern accounts. These thinkers saw the importance of retaining the insights of modernity while also taking into account the Romantic and post-Romantic critiques of modernism as a one- sided or overly rationalistic enterprise. This dissertation seeks to provide a comprehensive picture of the approaches of Franz Rosenzweig and Martin Heidegger to rethinking the question of how philosophy is to proceed, especially in light of religious phenomena. Placing Rosenzweig and Heidegger in dialogue helps to further our understanding of both figures, particularly insofar as Rosenzweig’s thought might be used as a corrective to possible shortcomings in the later Heidegger. Many scholars have argued that there is something problematic about Heidegger’s religious thought, but Rosenzweig has been almost completely overlooked as an important corrective resource. Both Rosenzweig’s comprehensive account of the basic phenomena of human existence and his grammatical method for formulating this account share many of Heidegger’s insights, yet surpass them insofar as Rosenzweig is able to address the topic in a more philosophically cogent manner.
