17In the recently published manuscript “The Argument against Need” (ca. 1963), Heidegger discusses the notion of being-in-itself (Ansichsein) with regard to entities that predate the existence of knowers. Section 1 introduces the problem of so-called “ancestral facts,” which Meillassoux and Boghossian have used to argue for a specific form of realism. Sections 2 identifies a specific understanding of time as the basis for their argument. Sections 3–4 show how Heidegger rejects this account of time…Read more

12Der Sinn des ScheiternsZeitschrift für Kulturphilosophie 2023 (2): 22-37. 2023.The article sketches two accounts of failure. On a broadly Aristotelian view, failure is conceived as the privation of success; on a view I call existential failure, failure and the capacity to begin anew are seen as explanatorily more basic than success. I distinguish three types of existential failure with regard to (i) individual existence, (ii) a cultural system, (iii) humanity as a whole. While the senses in which agents fail are different on each case, an underlying feature of failing in i…Read more

19Reciprocal MirroringPhilosophy Today 61 (1): 53-57. 2017.On May 19th, 1958, the day after Martin Heidegger and Shin’ichi Hisamatsu led a one-day colloquium in Freiburg on the topic of “Art and Thinking,” the two men came together to discuss the success of the colloquium. The conversation soon turned to the work of Paul Klee, the Swiss artist, and from there to the newest developments in Heidegger’s thinking about language. Heidegger had just presented some of this new thinking during his lecture on Stefan George’s poem “Das Wort” in Vienna a week earl…Read more

The protocol of the colloquium, published in volume 16 of Heidegger’s Gesamtausgabe, presents a conversation among the colloquium participants about art in the East Asian world. In this conversation, Heidegger is particularly interested in hearing from Hisamatsu about the conception of art present in the East A…Read more

23Paths in Heidegger's Later Thought (edited book)Indiana University Press. 2020.If one takes Heidegger at his word then his philosophy is about pursuing different "paths" of thought rather than defining a single set of truths. This volume gathers the work of an international group of scholars to present a range of ways in which Heidegger can be read and a diversity of styles in which his thought can be continued. Despite their many approaches to Heidegger, their hermeneutic orientation brings these scholars together. The essays span themes from the ontic to the ontological,…Read more

25Worlds, WorldingEpoché: A Journal for the History of Philosophy 27 (2): 273-295. 2023.Heidegger’s discussion of the concept and the phenomenology of ‘world’ is defined by its dual meaning, referring to both the unity of a single, encompassing whole and a number of different meaning contexts, i.e., ‘worlds’ in the plural. Heidegger’s emphasis on the verbal meaning of world (‘worlding’) and the discussion of problems such as the ‘world entry’ of an entity articulate the tension and dynamic between these two meanings. This contribution develops Heidegger’s account by (i) elucidating…Read more

Was unterscheidet Nahe und Distanz, Bewegung und Aufenthalt?Die Beitrage des vorliegenden Bandes nahern sich der Philosophie des Raumes aus Richtung der Epistemologie, praktischen Philosophi…Read more

21The Routledge Handbook of Phenomenology of Agency (edited book)Routledge. 2020.Phenomenology has primarily been concerned with questions about knowledge and ontology. However, in recent years the rise of interest and research in phenomenology and embodiment, the emotions and cognitive science has seen the concept of agency move to a central place in the study of phenomenology generally. The Routledge Handbook of Phenomenology of Agency is an outstanding reference source to this topic and the first volume of its kind. It comprises twenty-seven chapters written by leading in…Read more

16Welt und Raum. Zum Problem des Unendlichen bei Günter FigalIn Die Gegenständlichkeit der Welt. Festschrift für Günter Figal zum 70. Geburtstag, Mohr Siebeck. pp. 283-315. 2019.Der Raum ist nicht alles, die Welt schon. Dieser Gedanke legt das Nachdenken über den Raum darauf fest, etwas in der Welt oder an der Welt zu sein: offenbar kein Gegenstand unter anderen, aber doch auch nur etwas, das an Gegenstän- den nicht so vorkommt, dass es deren Zugehörigkeit zum Ganzen der Welt de- nierte. Räumlich zu sein ist, folgt man dieser Überlegung, lediglich ein Aspekt der Zugehörigkeit zur Welt unter anderen. Es gibt andere kategorial-phänomen- ale Charakteristika, die nicht wen…Read more

1Letting things Be for themselves. Gelassenheit as enabling thinkingIn Aaron James Wendland, Christos Hadjioannou & Christopher D. Merwin (eds.), Heidegger on Technology, Routledge. pp. 96-114. 2018.Heidegger’s understanding of technology advances a conceptual critique of what he calls “the enframing” (Gestell), the epistemological and ontological presuppositions underlying technology. Reconstructing the central argument of Country Path Conversation (1945), the chapter focuses the positive contrast to “the enframing” Heidegger finds in the idea of Gelassenheit (“releasement”): releasement defines a form of life marked by an intellectual independence from technology achieved through a specif…Read more

40Phenomenology and Ontology in the Later HeideggerIn Dan Zahavi (ed.), Oxford Handbook of the History of Phenomenology, Oxford University Press. pp. 251-267. 2018.Heidegger’s later philosophy is marked by two conflicting claims about phenomenology. On the one hand, phenomenology and philosophy generally is tasked with “responding to the claim of what is to be thought” in a novel and unprecedented manner. On the other hand, Heidegger recognizes that there have been earlier attempts at thus doing justice to phenomena; in the ontological commitments of earlier thinkers, Heidegger finds accounts of the “things themselves,” each of which has different implicat…Read more

41Heideggers DingeMeta: Research in Hermeneutics, Phenomenology, and Practical Philosophy 74-112. 2014.This paper discusses the notion of a thing in Heidegger. Its aim is to explain the systematic place of that notion in Heidegger’s thought in relation to his ontological discourse: as what is explained through different understandings of being, things allow for a simultaneous differentiation and discussion of the different epochs in the so-called history of being. Thus a henomenology of things and thingness serves as frame of reference for all explications of ‘what there is.’ If Heidegger is a re…Read more
