Heidegger on ConCepts, Freedom and normativity
- Share to:
The aim of this book is to provide a new account of the fundamental concepts and arguments that define Heidegger’s early work; specific- ally, my focus will be on the period from 1919 to 1935. I am interested in three sets of issues in particular, and in the interaction between them. The first concerns the interpretation and validity of the various philosophical theses which Heidegger advances. How, for example, should we understand his theory of intentionality? In what sense, if any, does he regard linguistic or propositional meaning as a secondary phenomenon or even a distorting one? What exactly is Heideggerian “understanding” or “anxiety” and what, if anything, do these ideas imply for current debates over conceptualism or ‘know how’ or nor- mativity? How do his views on these and other topics relate to those of other phenomenologists, or to contemporary analytic research? The second set of issues concerns the complex links between Heidegger’s own thought and his extensive and vastly detailed commentaries on the philosophical canon. Why, for example, does he place such emphasis on Kant’s Schematism? How does the role of society in texts such as SZ mirror or diverge from its role in Heidegger’s predecessors such as Hegel? Why are Heidegger’s remarks on Plato, whether pages or years apart, so often deeply conflicted, hedged, alternately hesitant and overplayed? I will place particular stress on Kant, an author whom Heidegger knew in huge detail and to whom he devoted more than a thousand pages of intricate commentary: examining the tripartite relationship between Heidegger himself, his reading of Kant and an orthodox view of the Critical system will prove an important exeget- ical tool, one which throws into relief many of the unspoken assump- tions that underpin Heidegger’s own thought
