  • Hermeneutics, Exteriority, and Transmittability
    Research research in phenomenology 47 (2017) 331–350 in Phenomenology brill.com/rp Are We a Conversation? Hermeneutics, Exteriority, and Transmittability Theodore George Texas A&M University [email protected] Abstract Hermeneutics is widely celebrated as a call for “conversation”—that is, a manner of in- quiry characterized by humility and openness to the other that eschews the pretenses of calculative rationality and resists all finality of conclusions. In this, conversation takes shape in efforts to understand and interpret that always unfold in the transmis- sion of meaning historically in language. Yet, the celebration of hermeneutics for hu- mility and openness appears, at least, to risk embarrassment in light of claims found in Heidegger and Gadamer that conversation is always contingent on “prior accord.” Critics of hermeneutics have, for some decades, interpreted this claim of prior accord to refer to a common tradition, so that the understanding achieved in conversation is restricted to those who belong to the same heritage. In this essay, the author argues that although Heidegger and Gadamer often suggest this prior accord is a matter of common tradition, crucial threads of Gadamer’s thought, in particular, recommend a different view. Gadamer, in these threads, offers that “prior accord” concerns not a common tradition, but, on the contrary, the call to participate in hermeneutic trans- mission as such, even—and no doubt especially—when those in conversation are not familiar with the tradition or language of the other. With this, we are called to converse not first by what the other says, but by the fact that we do not yet understand, that we have already misunderstood, and that we perhaps cannot understand.

  • A Comparative Analysis on the Notion of Death in Heidegger and Gadamer
    Death’s Doorstep: A comparative analysis on the notion of death in Heidegger and Gadamer Bachelor thesis written by Anniek den Toom, 5682010 Utrecht University, Faculty of Humanities Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, Philosophy Submitted on 19-06-2020 First Supervisor Dr. Tom Giesbers Second Supervisor Dr. Mathijs Peters Abstract Contrary to his former teacher Heidegger, Gadamer has not formulated an extensive and unified notion of death. His articulation of the subject must be reconstructed from short essays he has written throughout his lifetime. This has caused Gadamer’s view on death to contain some ambiguity. I will attempt to provide insight into Gadamer’s account on death by comparing his writings to Heidegger’s notion of death as presented in Being and Time. Gadamer’s philosophy has been highly influenced by Heidegger. Therefore, it is to be expected that there is some degree of compatibility between the two notions of death. I will argue that because of its fragmented character, Gadamer’s notion of death is very much susceptible to interpretation. Donatella Di Cesare offers one such interpretation by reconstructing Gadamer’s view via his texts on death as well as his other fundamental philosophical positions. I will provide an account of Gadamer’s notion of death solely on the basis of his specific texts on the subject and argue why Heidegger’s and Gadamer’s views on death might me more compatible than is suggested by Di Cesare. Using an isolated version of Gadamer’s conception of death will reveal the degree of susceptibility to interpretation of this notion and therefore also the obstacles in acquiring clear insight into Gadamer’s view on death.

O N C APUTO ’ S I NTERPRETATION O F I NTERPRETATION : A DISCUSSION OF HERMENEUTICS: FACTS AND INTERPRETATION IN THE AGE OF INFORMATION 1 JAMES RISSER Seattle University The opportunity to discuss John Caputo’s latest book, Hermeneutics: Facts and Interpretation in the Age of Information is a welcomed one. Over the years I have followed his work closely with great admiration. His work is always interesting to read, even on that rare occasion when I find myself in disagreement with him. More than interesting, as a philosopher Jack has an uncanny ability to write clearly and to make his subject matter lively. I attribute this liveliness in part to Jack’s roguish manner of dealing with his subject matter – a style which has intensified in his later writings, as he has incorporated into his work some of the roguishness of that other Jack, Jacques Derrida.

  • London Book Fair 2015
    Bollati Boringhieri FRANKFURT BOOK FAIR 2018 Rights List Mary Barbara Tolusso L’esercizio del distacco [The Practice of Parting] May 2018 176 pages (30.000 words) Novel English translation sample available There are three of them: Emma, David, and her. They live in a boarding school, a few steps from a border immersed in woods and wind. We feel the weight of history, a Trieste that is never named, but that permeates the pages. Far from their parents, these teenagers grow up educated in order and in controlling their passions. Theirs is an exclusive triangle: an easy friendship with the exuberant Emma, a seductive competition with David, the boy with the sharp heart. The three love each other with the unreserved impulse of adolescence and with the terror of abandoning themselves to true love. As long as they grow up within the protected walls of the school, life passes comfortably between study, sport, and walks on the park’s paths, under thin oak branches and watchful eyes. They do not ask themselves too much about their future, nor why their education is designed to face endless fates. They don’t imagine that their lives, once so intertwined, will be divided. Years later, only a photograph remains to connect them, as well as the mystery of their infinitely long and healthy existence. Almost nothing is left of the great friendship with Emma, of the love for David, or of the passion for Nicholas, the young anarchist encountered over the border. And yet they cannot help but chase that lost time, asking: what were they destined for, what becomes of their privilege in a world where the exclusive are ultimately excluded? The Practice of Parting is above all a remarkable love story written in a unique prose, mournful and steeped in poetry.

  • Reading Heidegger's Black Notebooks 1931–1941
    5 Heidegger’s Black Night Heidegger’s Black Night: The Nachlass and Its Wirkungsgeschichte Babette Babich Babette Babich Digital Philosophy and the “New” “Heidegger Scandal” In a world of Heidegger studies so becalmed that the Heidegger Circle in the United States, the same Circle to which Heidegger addressed one of his last letters on science and tech- nology,1 spends its time on the Internet debating Tom Sheehan’s claim to reduce Being (Sein and Seyn) to “meaning” along with more recondite worries, grieved as it were to the smallest nib, the tiniest point, and thus into that inaudibly humming world of occasional e-missives posted with either no response or only to small circles of back-and-forthings that flare and die, into all of this that is the life of digital or online philosophy burst the so- called Schwarze Hefte, the so-called Black Notebooks. This “Ereignis” quickly became Heidegger’s own “black night” where former distinc- tions could no longer be made and where everything to be addressed turned on a single theme. What is of central importance is that this event did not transpire in the usual way of the academic bombshell—that is, by way of a journal article (from one perspective, the original form of publication of Heidegger’s Being and Time),2 nor did it hit the book- stores like Richard Rorty’s Mirror of Nature or Alasdair MacIntyre’s After Virtue or Alex- ander Nehamas’s Life as Literature or indeed, for a clearly continental contender, Gilles Deleuze’s Nietzsche and Philosophy.3 Neither was this a ‘performance event’ like one of Jacques Derrida’s famously long lectures before an audience of hundreds of eager com- parative literature and language students (rather than philosophy-minded listeners).

Fifty five years before, in the same lecture hall, Martin Heidegger, as Rector of the University of Freiburg, had given a speech that would be part of the firsts steps towards a running sore, “a wound in thought itself” [c’est une blessure de la pensée] in Maurice Blanchot’s words[i], a proper caesura, entitled “Das Universität im neue Reich” [The University in the New Reich]. Jacques Derrida, Hans-Georg-Gadamer, and Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, three unquestionable distinguished Heidegger’s interpreters, came together that February of 1988 for over two days to discuss the philosophical and political implications of Martin Heidegger’s thought and legacy, under a Gadamer’s sign of hospitality: the encounter took place in the common linguistic territory of the French language.
