97Heidegger's Last GodInquiry: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy 54 (2): 160-182. 2011.In this paper, we discuss Martin Heidegger's position on the so-called godlessness of our current age. Rather than holding that we must either await the advent of god or enthusiastically embrace our godlessness, Heidegger holds that a third option is available to us: we could fundamentally change the way we experience the world by leaving behind all remnants of metaphysical thinking. In Section II, we show that, despite the absence of god, our current historical moment shares a metaphysical stru…Read more

8Individuation and Heidegger’s Ontological “Intuitionism”In Véronique M. Fóti & Pavlos Kontos (eds.), Phenomenology and the Primacy of the Political: Essays in Honor of Jacques Taminiaux, Springer. 2017.When Heidegger insists that each of us is distinctive because “the most radical individuation” is both possible and necessary for us, he might mean: it is possible and necessary to be an individual in the most radical way; or it is possible and necessary to engage in the project of becoming a distinct individual in the most radical way; or it is possible and necessary to see the distinct individual that I am, and to do so in the most radical way. Although all three readings are possible and defe…Read more

17Who is the Self of Everyday Existence?In Schmid Hans Bernhard & Thonhauser Gerhard (eds.), From conventionalism to social authenticity : Heidegger’s anyone and contemporary social theory, Springer. 2017.I argue that, for Heidegger, to be a self is to be a particular way of making some environmental affordances stand out as more salient than other, and of aligning affordances into coherent trajectories to be followed in pursuing our projects. When Heidegger argues that the self of everyday existence is “the anyone-self,” he means that we tend to polarize situations into affordances that solicit us to act in such a way as to reinforce public, average, and levelled down ways of engaging with the w…Read more

Unconcealment and TruthDissertation, University of California, Berkeley. 1996.Does truth remain an interesting philosophical topic? Deflationists would argue that it does not, for they believe that Tarskian approaches to truth have succeeded in capturing much of our understanding of the concept without the metaphysical baggage and other shortcomings of traditional attempts at definition. ;Philosophers like Donald Davidson, however, have argued that acceptance of Tarski's insights into the workings of the truth predicate require us to say something more about the concept o…Read more

117Heidegger and Unconcealment: Truth, Language, and HistoryCambridge University Press. 2010.This book includes ten essays that trace the notion of unconcealment as it develops from Heidegger's early writings to his later work, shaping his philosophy of truth, language and history. 'Unconcealment' is the idea that what entities are depends on the conditions that allow them to manifest themselves. This concept, central to Heidegger's work, also applies to worlds in a dual sense: first, a condition of entities manifesting themselves is the existence of a world; and second, worlds themselv…Read more

148Heidegger on Plato, truth, and unconcealment: The 1931–32 lecture on The Essence of TruthInquiry: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy 47 (5). 2004.This paper discusses Heidegger's 1931-32 lecture course on The Essence of Truth. It argues that Heidegger read Platonic ideas, not only as stage-setting for the western philosophical tradition's privileging of conceptualization over practice, and its correlative treatment of truth as correctness, but also as an early attempt to work through truth as the fundamental experience of unhiddenness. Wrathall shows how several of Heidegger's more-famous claims about truth, e.g. that propositional truth …Read more

12Fondements non rationnels et contenus non conceptuelsSynthesis Philosophica 20 (2): 265-278. 2005.La tradition phénoménologique a longtemps considéré que la perception naturelle n’était ni actualisée conceptuellement ni régie par des lois déterministes, mais qu’elle était plutôt organisée d’après la strcture pratiquement articulée de l’être-dans-le-monde physique. Or, cela laisse entier le problème d’explication de la façon dont la perception peut assurer un support justificatif à la pensée. La réponse de la phénoménologie est que c’est la structure significative de la perception naturelle q…Read more
